    It’d be fun to talk shop with the fast code in slow languages folks. I do that for a living. I remember three ways, but I’m sure there’s more:

    • “Just use a better data structure”
    • “My language is a DSL for a faster language” (Polars, Numpy, etc)
    • “My compiler is surprisingly good if I’m careful” (Julia, JVM, etc)
