Oh? Which python runtime?

• jesse__ 2y ago
  It was for kind of a weird project .. a new shell called Oil. It was originally written in python, which turned out to be too slow (obviously), so the author decided to transpile python -> c++ and compile that with a custom python runtime .. which surprisingly worked pretty well. There were sharp edges, but even a really braindead cpp translation was like 200x faster than python iirc
