Comment on Python JIT project was asked to pause developmentparent

Comments

Python isn't a side project to yolo on. Updating the GC without a PEP caused massive issues for actual people using Python. If you want to impact software used by millions of developers then you better be willing to handle a bit of process.

Killing the incremental GC for synthetic benchmarks, not real ones, caused the issues. If the processes are broken and you get nothing done with it, you better step aside and do it without. Fork it, and drive the blockers away.
