And in the disruptive technologies section…

[Russel Winder via Digitalmars-d]

The numba package (and llvmpy below it) is rapidly getting to production
use stage, this means all those people using Python for data analysis
(and there are a lot of them) will no longer be searching for Cython/C/C
++/D to speed up their codes, they'll just @autojit their Python code to
generate LLVM based native code for the performance critical sections.

This will mean this arena of programming will only use C/C++/Fortran for
ready made libraries and not for anything new. I suspect this will make
PyD and similar more or less redundant.

On the up side, it is further emphasizing that LLVM is the short- and
medium-term future of native code generation and it is good that there
is LDC, and that it is (almost) up to date with D versions.
