I don't really see the benefit over Nuitka, or even a JIT like Numba. Can someone help?

- nerdponx 5y agoNeither of those is a drop-in replacement for CPython. It would be better to compare this project to, in addition to CPython: PyPy, GraalPython, Pyston, Cinder, Jython, and IronPython. As well as the now-inactive Psyco project, and possibly also Stackless Python.
- int_19h 5y agoIt should be noted that Pyjion in particular is CPython. It's not even a fork - it's a native CPython module that provides a replacement for the stock bytecode interpreter (for which CPython has an API). Everything else is the same, so it's compatible with pretty much any random native module compiled for CPython.
