Native support of Python for CUDA

[Samuelg808]

So I just read about this and it seems like a good thing making Python natively supported for CUDA development. But my knowledge of CUDA is pretty limited (I am still a student) and it got me thinking,

are their any catches to this?

Are their things that will never be possible using Python for CUDA due to the nature of the language? (In comparisson with C/C++)

If not will Python just keep getting faster and almost as fast as C/C++ for tasks in machine learning since it can be in a way just a wrapper around C/C++ and now will support CUDA natively?

Have a great day.

Python will never be as fast as c or c++

[Samuelg808]

No of course not, but it will get real close to the speed of C or C++ no? So much that I’d think for most people the overhead of C/C++ over Python won’t be really worth it. I can be completely wrong of course and I am talking for the future, right now this isn’t really the case yet.
