Trailer – Why Python is Slow: Antonio Cuni on SPy and Statically Compiled Python

from Behind the Commit

In this upcoming episode, I chat with Antonio Cuni, the creator of SPy and long-time PyPy developer. We discuss why Python is slow, how a statically compiled Python variant can be as fast as C while still feeling Pythonic, and the "red and blue" model behind SPy's compilation pipeline. Full episode coming out soon!
