It must feel great to be a Python Core Developer. A 1% perf improvement in any part of the language translates to billions of CPU hours saved around the world.

- musicale 6y agoUnfortunately even with Python 3.9 you might still need 10-100x as many servers as you would if you used C++. :( disclaimer: I like Python and find it a lot more fun than C++, although C++/STL are getting better over time!
- pjmlp 6y agoThat wouldn't be the case if there was more JIT love.
- TazeTSchnitzel 6y agoAs PHP discovered, JIT is not a magic button. If you don't have efficient data structures and memory use, JIT won't do much for code that isn't just raw number-crunching.
- typon 6y agoGet the best of both worlds with pybind11 ;)
- fulafel 6y agoYou might.. but more probably you need infinitely more servers. (Because the C++ program is too hard to write and doesn't come into existence!)

- baq 6y agoPerhaps interesting: Python 1.0 and STL were released/standardized in the same year - 1994.
