Sorry if you think I blamed spaCy for anything; it was not intended; I know it was due to the way Python was used which I tried to convey. Your product is excellent and yes, I probably should've reached out more anyway; I just know how to solve things my way and did not wanted to waste more time (there was an investor deadline).

Cython part sounds good; I will try it out and email you if I get totally stuck, thanks!

Oh, I didn't take it as a pointed criticism or anything. It just seemed like it would be an instructive example.

The underlying point I often make to people is that Python's slowness introduces a lot of incidental complexity, and you find yourself fiddling with numpy or something instead of just writing normal code and expecting it to perform normally.
