Any thoughts on Cython language? Is it really the best of both worlds (Python + C) ??

Question

anonymous · Answer

As far as I know, CYTHON is a PYTHON library to call C code from Python. It is not a language.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cython in the first sentence lol but it serves a similar function to what you said

@adhokshaj You may be confunding Cython with Pyrex (or with the C API built-in into CPython).
That looks a cool idea, I might want to play with it a bit. Thanks for the link :-)

Most every language is built based on previous languages.  They take bits and pieces of other languages and put them together.  YOu need a language that you know you will be able to work with for a long time.  Java is a powerhouse, and C++ has always been a powerhouse, but is starting to die off not that Microsoft is putting all of their efforts towards c#.  Languages will change and move on, some will last for a long time, some will never become "big."

Some languages, like Lisp, lie in slumber, waiting for just the right moment to take over :D
