You've heard me talk previously about scaling Python and Python performance on this show. But on this episode I'm bringing you a very interesting project pushing the upper bound of Python performance for a certain class of applications.



You'll meet Braxton McKee from Ufora. They have developed an entirely new Python runtime that is focused on horizontally scaling Python applications across 1000's of CPU cores and even GPUs. They describe it as "compiled, automatically parallel python for data science".
