You think the JVM is slow?

IME large linear algebra algos run like molasses in a jvm compared to compiled solutions. You're always fighting the gc.

Do you have any benchmarks to show, out of curiosity?

Ok. But we have plenty of C libraries to bind to that for.

They're far slower in Python but that hasn't stopped anyone.

Depends. JVM is fast once hotspot figures things out - but that means the first level is slow and you lose your users.

You can always load JIT caches if you can’t wait for warm up.

What about AOT?
