nim-pymod

If you like to program in C++ and Python, the Nim language might appeal to you: C++-like features (generic types, operator overloading, function overloading, inline functions, optional O-O, optional data hiding, C pointers, bitwise-compatibility with C, your choice of manual memory management or GC) and C++-like run-time speed, combined with Python-like syntax and compile-time Lisp-like macros. I spent most of a decade mastering pre-11 C++, learning to apply the recommended tricks & idioms (like the copy-swap idiom for strong exception safety guarantees), learning to sidestep the gotchas. Meyers books, Sutter books, GotW, "Modern C++", etc. Then, when C++11 came out, the language became even more complicated, not less. That was a breaking point for me. As a long-time programmer (and fan) of both C++ and Python, Nim offers the best bala

cProfile takes a while to learn how to use well. What didn't you like about line_profiler? Here's a good guide on how to write fast(ish) code in Python: https://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonSpeed/PerformanceTips Generally, the best strategy for me has been to use NumPy wherever possible and to avoid creating many complex objects. Best to use built in dicts or tuples for things that store data. Thus the only time I run into issues is when implementing algorithms in which case I usually isolate the slow function and turn it into a Cython module. Recently have been playing around with https://github.com/jboy/nim-pymod which seems like a much better solution.
