Even assuming you're right - that all of these companies should move away from Python because it's a losing game - it's STILL going to be efficient to spend a million on a drop in replacement that gives a boost for free....while the moving away is happening
- staticassertion 6y agoAnd they do spend that money, much more than a million I'm sure.
- fastball 6y agoThe issue is that pypy is not a drop-in replacement, otherwise you'd be right. Many highly optimized libs are C extensions, which only run under CPython.
- jashmatthews 6y agoPyPy supports C extensions as does GraalPython.
- fastball 6y agoNot out of the box. For example, the fastest (and my favorite) JSON (de)serializer available for Python, orjson[1], does not support pypy. [1] https://github.com/ijl/orjson https://github.com/ijl/orjson
