Python 3.11 will bear the fruits of CPython's multi-year effort to make Python a faster programming language.

Furthermore, Cython code written in pure Python mode can optionally run as regular Python, although without Cython’s speed gains.

Guido van Rossum, who created popular programming language Python 30 years ago, has outlined his ambitions to make it twice as fast – addressing a key weakness of Python compared to faster ...
