Hybrid MI Python - Optimizing Python with Cython in 2026

Talk Description
Today there are many tools available to improve Python runtime and in this talk we are going to take a look at Cython: what it is, how it works, and where it works well. We will build a Mandelbrot set renderer and compare a pure Python implementation to several progressively optimized Cython variants - achieving up to a 100x+ speedup.
