Comment on Reflections on 2 years of CPython's JIT Compilerparent

Comments

yeah. Python is somewhat trapped here. because Python is slow, real work gets moved to C, and the C api makes it almost impossible to speed Python up. If Python had made the API changes needed for speed 20 years ago, there would be way less C code, so further changes would be easier, but that ship has now basically sailed

It could have made the changes in the 2->3 transition.

Instead we got parentheses around print.
