In short - new Python 3.14 it's awesome! Worth to update immediately!
3.14 is way much better in performance than any previous versions, has optionally enabled JIT (doesn't give too much performance boost, due to the too much dynamic nature of Python and vibrant run-time objects lifetimes) and optionally disabled GIL for multi-threading (installed as separately compiled binary in a system).
But PyPy JIT still outperform CPython.
Much love for Python anyways! 🙌 Python is a cross-system glue now!
Comparison with Rust is just for fun here - Python always will be much more slower, due to the dynamic types dispatch through vtables. And due to the dynamic nature Python always will allow run-time unexpected behavior and run-time crashes (thus should be covered thoroughly with tests for everything), while Rust is fully static (even
Dyn trait impls checked by compiler in compile time) and fully type safe (in compile time, before running).There are also more consistent benchmarking test suite across languages:

(They should update Python environment soon and we'll see 3.14 results - now 3,13 used.)
