You can compile PyPy without its JIT.
- loeg 10y agoYes, although without JIT it's slower than CPython. So, what's the point?
- DanWaterworth 10y agoIf you are happy using CPython, you can't be terribly concerned with performance. The point is, pypy will run on more platforms than its JIT targets.
- loeg 10y agoSure. But if you're already using CPython (as most users are), and you know Pypy will be 3x slower on your platform, why switch?
- DanWaterworth 10y agoYou have no reason to. We're talking about a hypothetical future where PyPy has become the reference implementation.
