Numba vs. Cython: Take 2

This technical article revisits a previous performance comparison between Numba and Cython for array-based computation, specifically a pairwise distance function. It updates the benchmarks with a newer Numba release and its autojit syntax, and includes comparisons with a pure Python and a NumPy broadcasting implementation. The analysis focuses on computational efficiency and memory usage in a common statistics and machine learning operation.
