There's a lot I can do from here to remove static/global objects and speed up the code.

More to come.

Thanks! I will allow this to dwell for a while (say 3-6 months after the issue was posted) in case the original authors/pydatatable maintainers decide to weigh in

[badasahog]

I think it can be confirmed by just looking at the code? It's pretty clear from the datatable codebase that the paths have diverged for some time now.

I'm not sure if there's another repo (possibly private?) that has been split off
