SPy - Static Python Language: Fast as C, Pythonic as Python

Explore a 44-minute conference talk from EuroPython 2024 introducing SPy (Static Python), a new statically typed variant of Python aiming to achieve C-like performance while maintaining Python's ease of use. Dive into the core concept behind SPy, which leverages the trend towards more static, typed Python code to enable performance optimizations. Learn how SPy enforces static typing for safety and speed while preserving Python's dynamic features through compile-time resolution. Discover how this approach allows for C-comparable performance without sacrificing Python's flexibility and expressiveness. Gain insights into SPy's design philosophy, its current development status, and its potential impact on Python programming.
