Python has a great versatile ecosystem but the competition is getting better, this talk is about how can Python keep up with these new languages and where PyPy fits into this.
Recently we've seen the rise of new technologies like Go, Node.js and Julia, those have the ability to build an ecosystem on a clean slate and thus be better than Python in some aspects. What would it take to be as good as those technologies on those aspects without loosing all the things we love about Python ? This talk will describe my perfect future where Python keeps getting better, gets to keep it's great set of libraries and where PyPy fits in that future.
PyPy is a fast Python Virtual Machine written in Python. This talk will tell about the history of the project, how it works, how fast it is, why it is fast, and what other things it can bring to its users.
PyPy is an implementation of Python which is both fast and faithful to the Python syntax, PyPy's Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler is the key to that compromise. This talk will explains how PyPy's JIT can gather data at runtime to produce efficient machine code.
