CPython is still 3-4x slower than PyPy.
Python 3.14 really should be called Pithon.
You are right! What a lost opportunity.
Error in the Lemmy post title. Approximately 3% to 30% improvement. Not a 330% improvement.
The article quotes the docs which say negative 3 to 30, which is weird but honest.
I wonder if the - is a typo, but probably not.
It goes from 3% slower to 30% faster.
I guess if you’re measuring in execution time, negative would be an improvement.
330% would be crazy impressive.
Breaking: python now faster than assembly
Nah, 330% improvement won’t even bring it close to JavaScript. Python is slow.
To be fair, for what it is it’s got decent speed. Many other interpreted langs are similar or slower. But Javascript is also unreasonably fast for what it is, the optimisations in big JS engines are kinda insane.
Like a snail… slow but cool.
