PyPy is already way better than that, and has a Python 3.5 implementation.
- pmart123 8y agoI'm by no means an expert on the subject, but isn't there an advantage to having a JIT compiler use LLVM? On another note, I believe one thing that has been problematic for pypy adoption is that it does not automatically work with C extensions or Cython, and generally if someone already had performance issues with CPython, they would have written some C/Cython extensions?
- orf 8y agoPyPy is far more than just 'python with a JIT'. It's a tool that allows you to write an entire interpreter in RPython (a subset of Python) and then have it build a native binary with a free jit compiler included, with the specifics of your language encoded within. The reference implementation for this project is a Python interpreter. It's seriously, seriously cool.
