When is the last time you hear CPython performance objectives and improvements?
I think the main problem of 2-3 transition is not the incompatibilities, but lack of gain. If Py3k is 20% faster than Py2k it's a strong signal for mass upgrading.
- orf 11y agoPy3 is a lot faster than py2, read the release notes. In general though I think the CPython team prefer a cleaner implementation than a confusing one that's a bit faster. Just use PyPy
- poooogles 11y agoDo you have a source for this performance that's not the release notes? In day to day work I don't see much more than a 10% gains.
- poooogles 11y agoThis is actually most of the reason I'm being driven away from Python to Clojure. Sure I can write highly performant Python, but it stops being pythonic. I'd be so happy if we just gave up on CPython and everyone put their effort into getting PyPy up to 3.5. That's just me though.
