I kinda wish we could get more wood behind a single arrow -- like I understand they have 80k lines in C extensions, but that has to be something like 8k lines if rewritten in Python -- and then that gives you access to pypy and now you can contribute to making that better instead of doing a new thing.
- axiomabsolute 11y agoBased on the slides discussing Pypy performance, it looks to me that they're not confident that rewriting those 80k lines of C would provide sufficient performance. It might, but if you're not sure that's a lot of risk to take on.
