Research direction

The issue names PIXIE, typed.Dict, LLVM bitcode, and Numba's ctypes path but no files, tests, or entry points. First define a reproducible Dict benchmark and the comparison boundary; the work is done when the performance difference is measured and documented.

Description

question

This is a wonderful feature! Thanks for your effort!

I am curious if using PIXIE to "compile" the C implementation of typed.Dict to LLVM bitcode (?) and running some Dict benchmark, will the speed be much faster than current Numba way to call the C functions via ctypes under the hood?

Maybe this is not a correct question, since I don't know much about PIXIE for now.
