scramjit: a pure-Python JIT for Python loops

scramjit.dev Visit website
Editorial interest 83/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

scramjit specializes Python functions at runtime, generates C for their hot loops, and runs that code natively.

Landing page captured for the 2026-11-03 issue.
For
Python developers with interpreter-bound numeric loops
Worth noticing
NumPy arrays and views pass by pointer with shape and strides rather than being copied.

Field notes

A function's first call supplies the argument types used to generate and compile specialized C; later calls with matching types use the cached result. The examples include an exponential moving average and edit distance, while the page also describes passing NumPy views without copying and allocating arrays inside compiled code.
