Looks like #pyenv releases will now be more closely in sync with #CPython releases thanks to some newly implemented automation. That's great news!
Thanks to the devs for making this happen.

Top half of a chart showing dozens of benchmarks, most of them more than 1x faster.
Bottom half of the chart. About half of these are also most of them more than 1x faster, about a quarter are around 0.9 faster, and a quarter are insignificant.
Some new preliminary numbers from Ken Jin for the JIT in Python 3.15:
"On AArch64 macOS, the JIT has a 7-8% speedup over the tail calling interpreter with all optimizations enabled."

Python Code goes through parsing, complication and execution. Python's execution model combines interpretation with compilation.

The core of the optimization lies in technical details: clever tail-call handling and leveraging MSVC's `__preserve_none` feature. This helps overcome tough inlining challenges within the CPython interpreter loop. #CPython 2/6

Who would like Rust in CPython 3.15?
@emmatyping.dev and Kirill Podoprigora propose:
"Rust will initially only be allowed for writing optional extension modules, but eventually will become a required dependency of CPython..."

#GitHubActions is dropping #Intel #macOS.
#CPython has dropped it to tier 2. What does this mean? Not too much; we still support it, produce installers, CI failures block releases.
We test with buildbots, and failures must be fixed within 24h, not immediately.
