Cython Description
Cython, an optimizing static compiler, is available for both the Python programming languages and the extended Cython programming languages (based on Pyrex). It makes it as easy to write Python extensions using C. Cython combines the power of Python with C, allowing you to write Python code that calls back to C or C++ natively at any time. Static type declarations can be used to convert readable Python code into plain C performance. Combine source code level debugging to identify bugs in Python, Cython and C code. Large data sets can be interacted with efficiently, e.g. Multi-dimensional NumPy arrays. You can quickly build your applications in the mature, well-used CPython ecosystem. The Cython language, which is a superset Python language, supports calling C functions as well as declaring C types on variables or class attributes.
Cython Alternatives
Nim
Nim is a statically-typed compiled systems programming languages. It combines the best concepts of mature languages such as Ada, Python, and Modula. Nim generates native dependencies-free executables that are not dependent on a virtual computer. They are small and can be redistributed easily. Nim's memory management, which is deterministic and customizable, has destructors and moves semantics that are inspired by C++/Rust. It is well-suited to embedded, hard-realtime applications. Modern concepts such as zero-overhead iterators, compile-time evaluations of user-defined functions, and the preference for value-based datatypes on the stack make code extremely performant. It supports multiple backends: it can compile to C, C++, JavaScript so that Nim is available for all frontend and backend needs.

Vyper
Vyper is an object-oriented, pythonic language that targets Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM).
Security: Vyper should make it easy and natural to create secure smart contracts.
Language and compiler simplicity: Both the language and the compiler implementation must be simple.
Auditability: Vyper should be as human-readable as possible. It should also be as difficult as possible to write code that is misleading. Simplicity is more important for the reader than for the writer. This is especially true for readers who have little or no experience with Vyper and programming in general.

Fortran
Fortran was designed from the ground up to support computationally intensive applications in engineering and science. You can write code that runs fast and close to the metal with mature and battle-tested libraries and compilers. Fortran is statically and heavily typed. This allows the compiler to catch programming errors early. This allows the compiler generate efficient binary code. Fortran is a small language that is easy to learn and use. It is easy to express most mathematical and arithmetic operations on large arrays by simply writing them out on a whiteboard. Fortran is a natively parallel programming languages that uses intuitive array-like syntax to exchange data between CPUs. It is possible to run almost identical code on one CPU, on a shared memory multicore system or on a distributed-memory HPC system or cloud-based system.

IronPython
IronPython, an open-source implementation for the Python programming language, is tightly integrated with.NET. IronPython is compatible with.NET and Python libraries. Other.NET languages can also use Python code. With Python Tools for Visual Studio, you can have a more interactive.NET/Python development experience. IronPython, a great addition to.NET that gives Python developers the power of.NET, is a great addition to.NET. IronPython is also available to existing.NET developers. It can be used as a fast, expressive scripting language for writing, testing, and embedding new applications. The CLR is an excellent platform for creating programming languages. The DLR makes it even better for dynamic languages. The.NET (base library, presentation foundation, and so on) is a great tool for developers. Developers have access to a lot of functionality and power through the.NET (base class library, presentation foundation, etc.) IronPython uses Python syntax, standard libraries, and your Python code will need updating accordingly.

Passwordless Authentication and Passwordless Security
It’s no secret — passwords can be a real headache, both for the people who use them and the people who manage them. Over time, we’ve created hundreds of passwords, it’s easy to lose track of them and they’re easily compromised. Fortunately, passwordless authentication is becoming a feasible reality for many businesses. Duo can help you get there.
