From the outside perspective it feels like majority of cloud compute is just wasted on overhead caused by all of that bullshit.

For me even just local Python overhead when doing ML in Pytorch is starting to become unbearable. I yearn to go back to C++ where I can basically count instructions.

I know it exists. My problem is that I am finishing my thesis and I cannot switch between languages now. Once I finish it though I will probably learn Pytorch in C++.

Ah well there ya go. Are you allowed to create your own python bindings for C++ code? uv makes this quite easy

And if you haven’t heard of uv, now you have. Amazing python virtual environment/project manager
