Python 3.14 Lands A New Interpreter With 3~30% Faster Python Code

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.
I guess if you're measuring in execution time, negative would be an improvement.
It goes from 3% slower to 30% faster.
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.
Like a snail... slow but cool.
At least Python is readable. JS is a crime against humanity.
CPython is still 3-4x slower than PyPy.
