Python's experimental JIT to be removed
Summary
LWN reports that Python's experimental JIT for CPython is being removed after the JIT maintainers withdrew PEP 836. The Python Steering Council demanded a standards-track PEP and raised concerns about maintenance, compatibility, security, and platform parity; the PEP was eventually withdrawn and removal is expected in the CPython main branch. The article places this in the context of open-source governance and potential future work.
