PyPy has established +a baseline for performance in pure python code, providing an answer for the +"Python is slow" detractors. The techniques used to make ``cpyext`` performant +will let PyPy become an alternative for people who mix C extensions with python, +which, it turns out, is just about everyone. Today, many developers are forced +to seek performance by converting code from python to a lower language. We +feel there is no reason to do this, but in order to prove it we must be able +to run both their python and their c-extensions performantly, then we can begin +to educate them how to write JIT-freindly code in the first place. - - - _______________________________________________ pypy-commit mailing list pypy-commit@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pypy-commit
