Hi!
I am starting work on creating a new Python implementation from scratch
using "neos" my universal compiler that can compile any programming
language. I envision this implementation to be significantly faster than
the currently extant Python implementations (which isn't a stretch given
how poorly they perform).
I'd like to encourage you to give this a go. It's a huge task, but it's
needed.
Actually it is a relatively small task due to the neos universal compiler's
architectural design. If it was a large task I wouldn't be doing it.
You may be interested in the approaches of Pypy, Cython, Shedskin and
Nuitka.
I am not particularly interested in any of the existing implementations as they
bear no relation to the design of my language agnostic universal compiler,
runtime, VM and JIT; the only use they will have will be to disambiguate
certain Python language constructs that I cannot disambiguate from
documentation alone: this is a natural consequence of Python not being
standardized; those steering the language need to grow a pair and get Python
standardized preferably as an ISO Standard.
You keep insulting Python and the Python devs. Put up or shut up -
show some actual code before you make too many boasts.
Python DOES have a strong language specification. Its semantics are
documented. If you find places where the documentation is lacking,
point them out specifically, don't FUD your way through.
For a language to transition from "toy" status it has to be formally
standardized. It is unacceptable to define a language in terms of a particular
implementation. A git repo of Source code and associated observable dynamic behaviour
when that code is compiled and ran is a poor substitute for an official ISO Standard.
