Carmack is moving to AI and inevitably has to deal with a lot of Python, which still bottlenecks process here an there despite all the effort to move computation to C extensions. I have a really high hope that he detours a bit and creates very-very good non-python tooling for ML.
- ospider 7y agoMaybe he could make Python fast once and for all :p
- stefano 7y agoPython has some fundamental language semantics that make it really hard, if not impossible, to create an implementation that can match Java. Pypy is probably the best you can do to optimize python, and it shines in tight numerical loops, but it gets less effective as code gets more complex.
