Codon Python Compiler Gets Faster - and Changes to Apache 2 License
Slashdot reader rikfarrow summarizes an article they wrote for Usenix.org about the Open Source Python compiler Codon:

In 2023 I tried out Codon. At the time I had difficulty compiling the scripts I most commonly used, but was excited by the prospect. Python is essentially single threaded and checks the shape (type) of each variable as it interprets scripts. Codon fixes types and compiles Python into compact, executable binaries that execute much faster.

Several things have changed with their latest release: I have successful compiles, the committers have added a compiled version of NumPy (high performance math algorithms), and changed their open source license to Apache 2.

'The other big news is that Exaloop, the company that is behind Codon, has changed their license to Apache 2...' according to the article, so 'commercial use and derivations of Codon are now permitted without licensing.'
