We've spend +last decade improving on the performance of the language (but not the default +implementation). What we've learned so far is not what's the common +interpretation of that question - things like dynamic dispatch, dynamic +typing and interpreter can all be worked around. What we learned are the +places in the Python language which make unnecessary string copies, but +are easier to write, a lot of "pythonic" constructs that cannot be implemented +efficiently and a lot of quirks that make some constructs slow for no good +reason. Additionally we're overwhelmed by the sheer size of the "simple" +language and the necessity of supporting C extensions. This talk will cover +detailed view of those problems and some potential remedies. \ No newline at end of file _______________________________________________ pypy-commit mailing list pypy-commit@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pypy-commit
