While Twitter was in chaos, Meta timely introduced Threads, which only took 5 days to reach the key threshold of 100 million users, surpassing the record set by ChatGPT with an astonishing breakthrough. And guess what? The backbone behind this massive user base is Python! More precisely, it's Cinder, Meta's internal performance-oriented production version of CPython 3.10. It incorporates various performance optimizations, such as bytecode inline caching, eager coroutine evaluation, method-at-a-time JIT, and an experimental bytecode compiler that utilizes type annotations to generate type-specialized bytecode, resulting in improved performance within the JIT. Notably, Meta has expressed interest in the Faster CPython project and has committed to dedicating three engineers to its development if PEP 703 (optional GIL-free CPython) is accepted. Now, with Microsoft and Meta, two internet giants, paying attention to Python, we are closer than ever to realizing our dream of making Python great again!!!
