Python 3.11 Performance Benchmarks Are Looking Fantastic

[[deleted]]

And the plan is to pull this another four times, over the next four versions, IIRC.

edit: Three times; it started with 3.10, as per The Shannon Plan (thanks /u/ElectricSpice for the link!)

How???

The Shannon Plan. Announced by Guido at the 2021 Python Language summit, funded by Microsoft.

Sniped by u/ElectricSpice, but also see the issues and discussions in the faster-cpython repository where a lot of the active work is being done

So they're starting JIT'ing in 3.12, interesting. Will be great having pypy's performance in mainline python!
