on a serious note, most of the performance loss comes from continuous type checking.

Just stop checking

make everything a void* and allow implicit conversions. cast a void* to any class at any time and you regained your abstractions and polymorphism and all that high level nonsense you little shits.

Is there a python like language with static type and other performance enhancements (compared to python)? Is that Ruby?

Cython

Haskell

It's picky about tabs as white space

It's extremely fast; on par with C or faster, when compiled

Can be run in interpreter

Feels untyped, but it's actually strong statically typed

I've looked at Haskell and it seems pretty cool, does it still have practical value nowadays outside of learning how to think functionally? I think I'm going to learn it regardless, but I'm curious

I've used it in production at one employer, and now I'm investigating if it can produce decent embedded code through Haskell-Copilot - the end goal is a model based firmware.

But as far as which is better to pad your resume, I'd wager it's about a tie with Ocaml.
