[$] Adding a JIT compiler to CPython

Date:
Tue, 18 Jun 2024 17:14:58 +0000

Description:
One of the big-ticket items for the upcoming Python3.13 release is an 
experimental just-in-time (JIT) compiler for the language;
the other is, of course, the removal of the 
global interpreter lock (GIL) , which is also an experiment.  Brandt
Bucher is a member of the Faster CPython project , which is
working on making the reference implementation of the language faster via a
variety of techniques.  Last year at PyCon, he gave a talk about the 
specializing adaptive
interpreter ; at PyCon2024 in Pittsburgh, he described the work he and others 
have been doing
to add a copy-and-patch JIT compiler to CPython.
