I love python
- The language is beginner-friendly
- Easy to understand
- "Just works" (but not in a bad way)
- Requires way fewer lines of code
Python is slow
The one thing I always see tossed around about python is that it's slow.
Yes people I am aware you can make it fast, by using blocks of C code for your logic and loading them into Python or using builtin functions etc.
What am I looking for - Maybe Go?
A language which is simple like python but also relatively faster.
Off the top of my head, I can say GoLang looks simple, but it also requires comparatively more lines of code than python does to do stuff.
My question
Is there any language in the works - which provides all the pythonic features but is also relatively faster?

Is it actually slow for your needs or people tell you it's slow :) ?
There's a huge difference there because one it's an objective problem you have to solve to accomplish a task and the other is just technically not an issue for your needs :D
The performance part is a potential issue for the project I'm working on.
Can you share any details? Maybe I can help pointing you on the right track. Skipping Python is also a possibility :)
Making an I/O sub-system monitoring tool
It's a bit lacking in specificity and requisites but probably Python isn't the best idea for systems programming. But even
inotifyis technically a "I/O monitoring tool" as it monitors file events, and that's usable from Python :)Yep, but I'm interested to learn more about Nim
Cool :)
I think these are close enough:
These look super promising!
BashScript?
