That'd be nice, but since CPython is supposed to serve as a reference implementation (and not necessarily be the bleeding edge of speed) I don't hold much hope of performance improvements becoming a top priority (except to make Python3 more compelling than Python 2.x strictly on performance criteria, which they've largely accomplished if I understand correctly).
- est 13y agoSo CPython think performance is about politics, but tell you what, it's also about competition. Every new Ruby release has some kind of performance tweak, Rubinius got rid of GIL entirely, Nodejs and V8 is significantly faster than pure Python, Go is one of the fastest.
