Sometimes it is good to try to keep a distance from the topic that I am biased on

During the CPython core sprint, I was glad to close the issue by fixing it so that the JIT can now pass unittests without any optimizations(no-opt). This will be the basic step to make the JIT compatible with free-threading.

Make no-opt JIT to pass whole unit test. · Issue #137838 · python/cpython

#137800 (comment) While investigating, make JIT thread-safe for FT build. IMO, we should separate this task into making the tier 2 interpreter thread-safe (with optimzation disabled) and the optimi...

It’s been a while, but I finally had a full day at work to spend on open source. Happy to dig into some long-pending CPython issues, especially since most of my days lately are just paperwork.

Hopefully no more paper works after next month

Side note: It is not Python, but learning something from outside is a good practice that I am using :)

Yesterday I joined @bernsteinbear.com for live debugging for my stuck PR on his JIT project, and it was an outstanding experience. Learning directly from people like him is priceless, and I truly hope more mentors like this can have greater impact in the community.

Had a great time with @corona10.bsky.social today!

I met Max Bernstein today, an expert in Python (Cinder, Skybison) and Ruby JIT (ZJIT). We had a fascinating conversation about JIT compilation in both Ruby and Python while walking around a historic palace in Korea.

Exciting news!

PEP 779 ("Criteria for supported status for free-threaded Python") has been accepted, which means free-threaded Python is now a supported build!

We'll drop the "experimental" label already in 3.14 beta 3, due on Tuesday!
