Spiffy and convenient as Python is, most everyone who uses the language knows it’s comparatively creaky—orders of magnitude slower than C, Java, or JavaScript for CPU-intensive work. But several ...

Rust on arm64 completed CPU-intensive tasks up to 5x faster than x86Arm64 reduces cold start latency across all run times by up to 24%Python 3.11 on arm64 outperforms newer versions in memory-heavy ...

But in many cases, it doesn’t have to be an either/or proposition. Properly optimized, Python applications can run with surprising speed—perhaps not as fast as Java or C, but fast enough for web ...
