And for not staying behind, Intel and AMD are doing similar efforts, and then we have the whole CPython JIT finally happening after so many attempts.
Not to mention efforts like GraalPy and PyPy.
And all these efforts work today in Windows, which is quite relevant in companies where that is the assigned device to most employees, even if the servers run Linux distros.
I keep wondering if this isn't going to be another Swift for Tensorflow kind of outcome.
The CPython JIT has barely had any impact on its performance. CPython is always going to be dog slow.
Of course, it is still on baby steps and has to be explicitly enabled when installing the right build.
It only has to be good enough, to keep the ecosystem going, and the porting cost not be worthwhile, when Mojo finally reaches parity.
