alt Hacker NewsI really wish PSF would adopt PyPy as a separate project. It is so underrated. People still think it supports a subset of Python code and that it is slow with C ffi code
But the latest PyPy supports all of Python 3.12 and it is just as fast with C ffi code as JIT Python code. It is literally magic and if it was more popular Python would not have a reputation for being slow.
PyPy is amazing and it's actually a bit baffling that it's not the default that everyone is using in production. I've had Python jobs go from taking hours to run, down to minutes simply by switching to PyPy.
