Still crazy to me that Python is this popular in all sorts of production uses without a JIT reference implementation.

- notatallshaw 2y agoA JIT is now available in CPython main, it's not that performant yet so won't be turned on for Python 3.13 by default, informational PEP is here (still being reviewed, check the discourse thread for more details): https://peps.python.org/pep-0744/ https://peps.python.org/pep-0744/
- pjmlp 2y agoDefinitly, one hardned lesson from my Tcl days, on the startup that used a AOLServer like product, was to never again use dynamic languages without any sort of JIT/AOT toolchains for production delivery of products, only scripting stuff. Apparently it took Microsoft and Facebook to actually change the minds of CPython core team, however what is coming on 3.13 is only the start.
