And forgetting Python for a minute and concentrating only on its
byte-code as a language in its own right, how would you go about the
job of streamlining it?
Really, your optimization efforts should concentrate not on bytecode but
on runtime data structures, algorithms, heuristics, equivalence
transformations, reachability analysis, profiling and such.
'A' is a scientific programmer; he optimizes his scientific programs
'C' is a financial programmer; he optimizes his finance programs
'B(art)' is a bytecode-interpreter programmer; How does he optimize his bytecode
interpreters?
'A' makes sure as best they can that their program is correct.
'C' makes sure as best they can that their program is correct.
'B' doesn't care provided it is quick.

My fellow Pythonistas, ask not what our language can do for you, ask
