Cython vs Google Web Toolkit

Cython is a free compiler for Python and the extended Cython language, used to create C extensions for Python. It translates source code into C or C++ that can be built as Python extension modules. Optional static type declarations can help produce more efficient C, while declared C and C++ types let Python code call existing C or C++ code. Cython supports source-level debugging across Python, Cython and C, and the project describes uses including wrapping external libraries, embedding CPython in applications and speeding up Python code with C modules. It can work with multidimensional NumPy arrays and integrate with low-level libraries and applications. Installation is available through pip, and some scientific Python distributions bundle it. A C compiler is required, with installation guidance for Linux, macOS and Windows. The project describes compatibility with major C and C++ compilers for CPython 3.8 and later, and characterizes PyPy support as mostly usable. Limited API and free-threading CPython support in Cython 3.1 are experimental. Cython is available under the Apache 2.0 License.

Google Web Toolkit (GWT) is a free, open-source Java framework for building AJAX web applications. Its compiler converts Java applications into JavaScript and HTML for browser use, and the SDK includes the core libraries and compiler. Deferred binding generates browser-specific code at compile time, while the compiler can create separate application versions for different browsers and languages. Applications can communicate asynchronously with servers through GWT RPC or JSON. An Eclipse plugin provides IDE support and an option to install the SDK. The developer guide covers deployment to Google App Engine, JUnit unit testing and Emma code coverage; documentation also includes SafeHtml guidance for XSS prevention and GWT RPC XSRF protection. GWT is licensed under Apache 2.0 for non-commercial, commercial and enterprise applications. Version 2.13.1 is listed for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Development mode and the compiler periodically send a timestamp ID and product version to Google; Google says it does not log cookies or personal information. The webAppCreator utility has been deprecated since version 2.11.0.
