Python-based compiler achieves orders-of-magnitude speedups

Codon lets developers create new domain-specific languages (DSLs) within Python.

The tool is a software tool that translates source code into machine code that can be executed by a computer’s processor.

Codon is already being used commercially in fields like quantitative finance, bioinformatics, and deep learning.

Codon is the easiest path forward for successful Python applications that have hit a limit due to lack of performance.

Codon can use the same Python implementation and give the same performance you'll get by rewriting in C.

The team is working hard to close the gap with Python even further.
