One of the big-ticket items for the upcoming Python3.13 release is an experimental just-in-time (JIT) compiler for the language;the other is, of course, the removal of the global interpreter lock (GIL), which is also an experiment. BrandtBucher is a member of the Faster CPython project, which isworking on making the reference implementation of the language faster via avariety of techniques.
