Why not switch to Mojo lang for this? It's Python-compatible with Golang like performance from what I hear.
I had not looked at Mojo... thanks for the pointer. In the past, I've had issues with library compatibility with compiled derivative languages of interpreted ones (eg: Crystal of Ruby, etc, etc).
Know if Mojo directly uses existing Python ecosystem?
I've been using Polars, etc.
They say they do, including libs with C bindings.
