Sure, but we have a 64-bit backend ;) After years and years still no one wants to write one for psycho.
Edit: Psycho also broke Python's semantics in a few very subtle ways, in that sense it isn't a truly fair comparison.
- mikeklaas 16y agoHey, don't get me wrong, it's great that you're making strides, and I still hope the project is a success. My viewpoint comes as someone who was very excited initially at the thought of a drop-in replacement for CPython whose goal was to be "faster than c". It's been a very long time and it seems like pypy still has a long way to go to achieve production-readiness, so it's hard to continue being excited about the project.
- andybak 16y agoAside from the rapid performance gains in recent months and the fact that it's twice as fast as CPython...
- mikeklaas 16y ago... in these benchmarks, which are mostly tight-loop math code, from what I understand. Being a drop-in replacement also includes things like virtual crashproofness, full stdlib support, runs major third-party packages flawlessly, etc.
- Semiapies 16y agoThen don't be "excited". However, it's douchey to mock others' work just because they're not on your timetable.
- cool-RR 16y agoHow does Psyco break Python's semantics? I'm using Psyco for years and I didn't know that it did.
