The pay-off that CPython gets from this is that we get to delegate 99.9% of the work for supporting different CPU architectures to C compiler developers, and we get a lot of capabilities "for free" when it comes to stack management.
One of the main benefits is that it's very easy for external code to make callbacks to Python code. The original implementation of Stackless decoupled the eval stack from the C stack, but at the expense of making the API for calling external C code much less straightforward. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
