High Performance Python: Practical Performant Programming for Humans

and this book was suggested. numba had maybe half a chapter (out of 10) worth of narration plus a bonus writeup from the tech lead of the library itself. useful yet I felt we had been gently led away from proper weeds. I would say 20% of the book overall is necessary trivia and ceremonies. the structure and delivery are good, each technique or class of approaches is showcased with gradual improvement, so some chapters even have a bit of character arch.

Authors have done excellent job compiling the material, running performance tests, digging into details.

100% recommend..
