Python 3.14 really should be called Pithon.

[–] logging_strict@programming.dev 4 points 1 week ago

You are right! What a lost opportunity.

[–] thoughtfuldragon@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Error in the Lemmy post title. Approximately 3% to 30% improvement. Not a 330% improvement.

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

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.

[–] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

I guess if you're measuring in execution time, negative would be an improvement.

[–] norambna@programming.dev 2 points 1 week ago

It goes from 3% slower to 30% faster.

[–] SatouKazuma@programming.dev 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

330% would be crazy impressive.

[–] Fiery@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Breaking: python now faster than assembly

[–] deadcream@sopuli.xyz 13 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Nah, 330% improvement won't even bring it close to JavaScript. Python is slow.

[–] SatouKazuma@programming.dev 1 points 6 days ago

At least Python is readable. JS is a crime against humanity.

[–] corvus@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 week ago

Like a snail... slow but cool.

[–] Corbin@programming.dev 1 points 1 week ago

CPython is still 3-4x slower than PyPy.
