Description
It seems likely that we'll want the ability to write fast numeric code in a low-level-ish language. There are a few options:
- Cython
- Numba
- C/C++, wrapped with a variety of other options
We should make a decision here before investing serious time in one path or the other.
There are, I think, a few categories of concerns:
- Speed
- Community adoptability (as a dependency)
- Barriers to attracting new developers
- Barriers to maintenance
