There's a post online comparing Python's performance of matrix arithmetic to C, indicating that Python's performance was 100x (yes, 2 orders of magnitude) slower than C's.
If I understand it correctly, matrix modules in Raku call GNU code written in C to perform the actual work. Does that make Raku significantly faster for matrix work, which is a large part of many contemporary applications, such as AI and video manipulation? If it does, that could be a big selling point.
