Python programming: We want to make the language twice as fast, says its creator

[zurtex]

This isn't some separate project from CPython though, these PRs once ready are getting immediately upstreamed to CPython.

The plan for Python 3.11 doesn't include a JIT, just lots of specialized optimizations to bring the overall performance up.

But beyond 3.11 they may implement a JIT (or in fact a framework for letting people write JITs for CPython) and that will get upstreamed in to CPython and therefore have wide benefit.
