ujson breaks the spec btw ;-) We tried doing the same thing but cffi callbacks are slow. We should maybe revisit that (and make callbacks faster, we did get better on that)

json parser on pypy is competitive, try it (or give us examples where it's not). msgpack needs a better impl, but can be done, database drivers seem to work over cffi at reasonable speed.

Well, maybe you should review your stack. Which C extensions are you missing? There are alternatives for the most part (barring GUI)

This is yet again, a multi-month project that I simply don't have budget for. Would love to see a business model where writing such parts would be somehow monetizable

This is obviously as meaningless as it gets, since it's an average on really a random set of benchmarks. But it generally means we're getting faster (with number 7 not meaning anything in particular)

You missed my point. All officers around the world already employ criteria that are subjective and impossible to verify, TSA went one step ahead and actually admitted it. Did you cross any international borders recently? While holding e.g.

Remember to US border officer EU passport is not a thing (Polish vs English or German for example). Either way they should totally run a rent-a-suit shop on the border ;-)

So this is codified racial-profiling and intuition-profiling (that singles out people with dreadlocks, arabs, sick people, stressed people etc.) unlike all other un-codified profiling employed by virtually all agents of all border security

Er. Author missed a crucial point of "just" using PyPy: for me it's over 24x speedup over standard python (if you run it enough times for JIT to warmup). Know your tools

This is precisely why in Poland (and likely more european jurisdictions) lying as an accused is not a crime (even if you muddle stuff completely), only as a witness. It's a bit shocking this is not the case in America

I'm very sorry dear sir, english is by far not my native language (I'm pretty glad you got fooled though), I will try to do better next time and please accept my apologies EDIT: Wiktionary does not yet have an entry for e.g.

Wow. All you guys need in SF is more ticketing systems. There is already what? 3? 4? In places like e.g. Germany, you have one ticketing system being serviced by different companies that all bid for the slots based on their costs (inclu

This is quite funny, since you can't run unmodified linux binaries on other linuxes (that is a binary distribution on linux is generally not a thing and there will always be a distribution that does stuff just differently enough), so

You definitely did not have a deep look at "how to optimize wordpress". It's a massive spaghetti piece of awful PHP that does A LOT of completely unnecessary work. Now as a smart VM, it's possible to reduce quite a bit

Yes, but the "survey" has a terrible bias of people who actually care enough to go and respond to such survey. It also means overrepresentation of python-dev people and so on. There is a very heavy bias towards Python 3 in suc

The problem runs deeper than that even. Even if you like doing stuff that requires more effort, it's shockingly difficult to find places/people who want to invest/hire you to work on such technology. You have essentially a

How about you contribute this missing bit or improve it instead of whining on the internet? This is really a minor feature for pyglets (most people would use it for more mainstream stuff than Agda), so how about you take it over?

Swiss tourism is about 1% of the GDP (less than say watches), you're making a big dent in your logic with such a lack of fact checking :-) The reason why there is no tax evasion in Switzerland is multi-layered and very complicated, but

Name a few. I know very very few and the funding goals are very very modest most of the time (they don't really convey the idea of full time devs)

Hey, if your code is Open Source, then I would be willing to look at your code and help you optimize it. Hit me on #pypy on IRC or just send me a mail at fijall at gmail.

the stm-gc can be run without the STM in a way that's thread safe and does not have the STM overhead. It's almost as good as the PyPy GC (it's missing a few optimizations and it's not incremental, but can be made to work

The problem with SWIG is that current SWIG bindings would not be reusable. Any major project using SWIG for Python already has a bit of glue and this glue tends to be CPython C API. SWIG has other modes, but it has not been the case in the
