Other than the fact that you have code obfuscation since you don’t have generics, a parametric type system, and compile time controls. Oh and you don’t get interprocedural optimizations. These are all of the things required to make nontrivial codes performant. As mentioned before, if you are writing simple scripts with standard floats these Python tools are fine, but at this point that’s the scientific computing of the past.
