but you should link to some docs / examples / tutorials in this thread because the release notes doesn't do justice of what Pythran can do.
Some benchmarks here: http://serge-sans-paille.github.io/pythran-stories/testing-p...
Some more benchmark you can run on you own: https://github.com/serge-sans-paille/numpy-benchmarks/
A comparison with Julia and native code: http://serge-sans-paille.github.io/pythran-stories/micro-ben...
Tl;dr: pythran is very similar to numba but blazingly fast on cpu
Instead it should use typed memoryviews [0], which are faster and can avoid more cases that will rely on the GIL accidentally (such as when an ndarray has to be treated as a Python object).
