The SBCL Lisp compiler (incidentally, the compiler is also called "python", which predates the PSF trademark ...) achieves much better results without millions of corporate dollars sunk into it.
Speeding up Python has been a lucrative business for more than 10 years, with dozens of projects and very little results.
I'd just use another language if speed is the issue.
- BiteCode_dev 4y agoAnd yet despite 30 years of people telling everyone how lisp is amazing, most people keep avoiding it despite that it's free, stable, and available everywhere. Meanwhile, new languages like rust or zig have no problem to be adopted, C#/Php/JS/python are still used massively and produced a lot of value. But it's probably everybody that is wrong, there is no way Python has a value proposal that is worth something to a lot of people.
