If you read nothing else, the commit message adding JIT support is worth your time: https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/113465

Yeah, I'm getting old. I would prefer TLDR formal version and then the fun xmas version for people that feel festive. But hey I'm not paying for this so who am I to complain :)

OK, a Django update from me.

I heavily used Django since version 0.96 (2007) until 1.5 (2014) (with Python 3)! Then came a long break with lower-level infrastructure work: linux kernel, perf tuning, some C, some Go and zig.

Last week I picked up Django again. After 10 years (!!!) of not even looking at it. It felt like meeting a good old friend: they are the same, but older and more mature. Conversations are the same. But better.

Things change in the tech world, often for the worse. Django changes, as it matures, for the better. The website layout, tutorial, colors, excellent release notes, `./manage.py runserver` are all the same as I remember them.

Except today it's easier, since I am much wiser in deploying and maintaining things than I was a decade ago. :)

I'm certain the poetry wasn't GPT generated.

Why do you suspect that? I really doubt it, because it's actually good. Do you think that nobody is able to write good poetry without help from machine? Like... I've written stuff like that in my life. It's not even particularly hard, if you believe you can do it and workshop it for a while.

No way an LLM came up with "Now cache away, cache away, cache away all!"

Do we have any idea how the introduction of the JIT compiler in CPython 3.13 will impact the performance?

"Only 35% slower overall than LuaJIT" as per video from a month ago. No idea which kind of tests are these "overall" though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxSHIpEQRjs Slides (pg. 31 performance): https://github.com/brandtbucher/brandtbucher/blob/master/202...

I think that was a from an application of the technique to Lua from the original research paper.
