   Rust is great, but this is an important comment! We used it to implement Weld's compiler and runtime, but we don't expect data scientists who use languages such as Python, Julia, or R to switch over to it; the idea is that these d

   XLA and Weld do have similar optimizations -- at their core, one of the main things they do is removing inefficiencies like unnecessary scans over data, common subexpressions, etc. across many operators. The speedup in the benchmark you&#

   I'm one of the developers of Weld -- Numba is indeed very cool and is a great way to compile numerical Python code. Weld performs some additional optimizations specific to data science that Numba doesn't really target right now (e
