On Mon, Aug 17, 2020 at 8:42 AM Chris Angelico but does it have a compatible API? If it does - if you can drop it in and everything behaves equivalently - then it sounds like the sort of thing that can be included in Python 3.10 with minimal fuss. I’m confused - if it is fully compatible, then couldn’t it be included in
all maintained versions of cPython?
Is anyone going to complain: “ hey! I just did a minor version update, and
suddenly my program runs faster! WTF!”
OK: the obligatory XKCD:

In any case, a prototype outside of the cPython code base would be good for
testing and review anyway. --
