Pypy isnt used that much because you may run into problems. And nobody wants to research strange runtime errors in production.
But the speed improvements would be welcome if they were in cpython because you can be quite sure there will be no problems.
- olau 6y agoAgreed (and I like pypy) One example is that Pypy switched away from reference-counting to fully garbage collected. They are probably right that's faster, but if I'm running a webserver, it's actually really comforting to know that any garbage produced by the processing of a request is collected when that request ends (barring cycles of course) so I don't end up with weird hangups.
- pjmlp 6y agoUsing a GC doesn't preclude doing a correct use of ResourceManager.
