Hi everyone,

CPython is slow. We all know that, yet little is done to fix it.

I'd like to change that.
I have a plan to speed up CPython by a factor of five over the next few years. But it needs funding.

I am aware that there have been several promised speed ups in the past that have failed. You might wonder why this is different.

Here are three reasons:
1. I already have working code for the first stage.
2. I'm not promising a silver bullet. I recognize that this is a substantial amount of work and needs funding. 3. I have extensive experience in VM implementation, not to mention a PhD in the subject.

My ideas for possible funding, as well as the actual plan of development, can be found here:

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.

Cheers,
Mark.
