I think the “simple, modular, and extensible” makes this interesting. And for those, it being written in Python are relevant.

Exactly Python makes the whole stack composable instead of compiled shut. That’s where the fun (and flexibility) lives.

The point isn’t raw speed it’s hackability. You can plug in new models or indexing layers in minutes without dropping to C++.
