Cython:Talk 2011

Point of View[edit]

I came to this page for useful information about how Cython works and what the benefits and tradeoffs are involved in using it. Instead I found an article that is overblown, biased, uses verbiage that is entirely inappropriate for an encyclopedia, and contains very little factual information about how Cython actually works. Biased, un-encyclopedic language includes phrases like: "The special advantage of this seamless Python/C intermix approach is that existing Python code can be tuned to almost the speed of C by just adding a few static type declarations".

I should add that Cython is *clearly* notable. Stefan Karpinski (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 07:03, 17 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've cleaned up some of the material and removed the sign. This article could still use some TLC but at least visitors will have a basic idea of the workflow. DavidBrooksPokorny (talk) 09:03, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not a Superset[edit]

I don't know when it diverged, but Cython is pretty far away from being a superset of python 3 at least since the introduction of type hints. Valid type-hinted Python will often fail to compile, and some other changes in syntax have not been added yet.

In the docs, cython only says it "It aims to become a superset of the [Python] language".

The first sentence should be tempered somewhat at least. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 148.88.152.95 (talk) 17:47, 18 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I've changed it to subset. Arjun G. Menon (talk · mail) 01:45, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's not language[edit]

Cython isn't even a programming language. I think someone here should read a little more at cython.org. Mr.Fine24 (talk) 16:15, 18 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
