Very nice.

The JIT requires no code changes to existing projects, and immediately enables more efficient use of hardware that is becoming ever more expensive by the day.

Free threading does require code changes, and a different programming mental model.

Hopefully it's a YES, and defeat won't be snatched from the jaws of victory.

I’m gaining more confidence AI is unable to take any of our jobs if this level of marketing is needed to try to convince us it will.

Exactly.

It's like saying "robots are replacing civil engineers". Asphalt laying is about 10%? of the work required in commissioning a road. The deciding whether to build a road at all, the costs, where to build it, the math all need to be done by a civil engineer.

The bulk of Software Engineering is feasibility study, requirements gathering, detailed design (architecture) then finally the implementation phase where AI comes in.

Those stages are in order of importance. Getting it wrong in especially the first two results in a high quality shiny white elephant at best.

The implementation phase is at most 20% but on average 10% of the work required to commission reliable maintainable software.

I’ve been using Django several years now. It works. Some things could be more straightforward, but once they work, they’re stable. I’ll keep an open mind though.

Thanks for this.

It would be interesting to this repeated with Starlette and Granian on Python 13 (with GIL and JIT).

Django.

Plus with Django and Py03, one can write the service layer in Rust(if you’re into that).

It also enables building an interface to Python’s data tools.
