PyPy-STM: first “interesting” release
That raises a few questions :<p>1- will this takes us closer to a golang like way of working in parallel ( since that means no GIL) ?<p>2- Why did dropbox / guido didn't join forces with pypy, since they already had proved that their approach was very efficient performance wise ? Is it because pypy doesn't deal with native C code at all, whereas the python LLVM approach they chose may let the two work better ?<p>3- does anyone else feel like the python world is a complete mess right now ?<p>EDIT : didn't want to sound harsh, on the contrary. Seing so many smart people work on separate path on great projects for so long feels like some great energy is going to end up a waste of time.
