    Congrats for a serious engineering achievement!

    I had experimented with a similar idea in an infinitely more primitive way more than ten years ago (https://cyrille.rossant.net/numpy-browser-llvm/). I'm glad to see so much progress since then.

    Are there some benchmarks of the browser vs non-browser version? I.e., what are the absolute numbers behind

    > Numba delivers a roughly 250× speedup in WebAssembly, compared with about 90× natively.
