This looks really interesting when high performance is needed. You can get a (nearly) Python program to use compiled-language constructs and your graphics hardware for very high performance of compute-heavy tasks (the company is an AI-support business so the want really good performance) -

And I just found this: Codon: Python Compiler, which also uses Python and Python syntax to produce compiled code that runs much faster than the usual Python implementations.  It includes a JIT compiler and you can decorate parts of your code to use it.

I'm glad that Python is the base of the AI world. Thanks for the link.
