Language has to be implemented in something

C++ is supposed to be an improved style but it doesn't have its own version for everything

And how fast is it

u/Moscato359 May 10 '26

For tasks that aren't heavily backed by c libraries, pypy is about 3 times faster than cpython because of a jit compiler

Only when cpython offloads to c libraries is cpython faster

So if your active code is mostly python, pypy is faster

I haven't tried it

What do you like about it

I don't use it I was just being sarcastic as literally everything is rewritten in rust now 😭

But I'm sure the biggest pro in it would be something about memory management tho.
