I find myself surprised at the relatively little use that Cython is seeing.

You would expect a whole lot of organizations and people to fancy a
language that's about as high-level as Python, yet almost as fast and
down-to-the-metal as C.

Add to that the ability to seamlessly integrate with both your
existing C/++ codebase and your Python codebase, easily mix very high
level abstractions with very low-level machine access... clear winner.

I'd expect Cython to have a far larger userbase, with a long line of
sponsors queuing up to fund further development. Maybe it will get
there some day :-)
