My wish for Python 4 is for it to get faster. There was a proposal on here recently about a guy who wanted to speed it up by like 3x. What happened?

- dopidopHN 6y agoechoing to my other response here. As a outsider to python, but user of the language, that something that would appeal more to me as a first thought that what the article describes. I do see the value of the dialects proposed. But that sounds more like a nice to have than a core 'new big version number' feature. ( and maybe it was intended this way, I have no idea what's in python 4 roadmap and who makes it ) A perf gain of 6.3 % or something would be a nice looking bullet point on the release-note. And that would drive adoption.. who doesn't want a faster, shinier implementation ? ( me ! )
- xscott 6y agoYou should give PyPy a look. It's really amazing if you're writing actual Python code (and not just gluing together libraries). PyPy is to V8 and modern JavaScript engines as Python is to Eich's original JavaScript. It's also amazing at gluing together your own C libraries.
