Error in the Lemmy post title. Approximately 3% to 30% improvement. Not a 330% improvement.

330% would be crazy impressive.

Breaking: python now faster than assembly

Nah, 330% improvement won’t even bring it close to JavaScript. Python is slow.

Like a snail… slow but cool.

At least Python is readable. JS is a crime against humanity.

The article quotes the docs which say negative 3 to 30, which is weird but honest.

I wonder if the - is a typo, but probably not.

I guess if you’re measuring in execution time, negative would be an improvement.

It goes from 3% slower to 30% faster.

Python 3.14 really should be called Pithon.

You are right! What a lost opportunity.

CPython is still 3-4x slower than PyPy.
