Call the libraries with Rpy2, or build models using a DAG of functions and distributions with pymc 3

Have you seen numba? Compiles numerical python approaching fortran speeds
Re:Nuitka Progress in 2015 – Python Compiler on Friday January 29, 2016 @01:38PM (#10997379)
Nuitka is already faster than Cpython and it seems a majority of the speed work has yet to be done.

Julia will when it can compile to web assembly
Re:Pyjion – A JIT for Python based upon CoreCLR on Thursday January 28, 2016 @05:27PM (#10991936)
Awesome!

A while back there was some talk of native excel-python integration. Any chance that is in the pipes, or is MS sticking to R in that sense?

Re:Pyjion – A JIT for Python based upon CoreCLR on Thursday January 28, 2016 @05:26PM (#10991925)
Sweet, new Microsoft is awesome!

Pyston seems to be catching up to PyPy fairly quickly ...not sure if there is anything transferable to pyjion, but if you haven't done so might be worth checking out.

Also for getting around the GIL, PyParallel seems to have a really interesting (and seemingly successful approach: http://pyparallel.org/

Its being worked on by one of the Guy's at continuum...and It's definitely in continuum's best interest to help python's future so I'm sure they wouldn't mind collab.

Exciting work! Is pyjion exploratory or is MS determined to see this through?

Makes sense. Thanks for both your open source work and your reply!
Re:Julia's Arraypocalypse Release on Sunday September 27, 2015 @11:37AM (#10286854)
Also, any plans for the stats ecosystem? (dataframe, dashboards, imputation, data cleaning etc)

It is still a bit wanting.

Re:Julia's Arraypocalypse Release on Sunday September 27, 2015 @11:34AM (#10286837)
"However, it gives us the ability to do some really amazing things with our array infrastructure going forward."

What kind of things? Super curious.

The GIL issue has been solved without breaking backwards compat: http://pyparallel.org/

It just need further dev work and acceptance into py3
