Not sure that will happen given Python's resistance to incorporating a JIT. The only reason Javascript has acceptable performance is because there's been an absolutely insane amount of work on v8.
- selcuka 4y ago> Python's resistance to incorporating a JIT Python (the spec) is not against a JIT. Only CPython (the interpreter) is, which is a reference implementation. Other implementations such as PyPy use JIT. I guess Jython can also use the JIT features of the underlying JVM.
- ceeplusplus 4y agoRight, but other implementations are missing a lot of key libraries which rely on the CPython->C bridge.
- vips7L 4y agoGraalpython would be fast enough especially when C extensions aren't involved in the browser. Though I'm sure that comes with it's own complexities.
