In Praise of Psyco

In Praise of Psyco 04/22/2004 03:56 AM
It may be madness to praise Python on a PHP blog, but I just have to add a pointer to one of the most amazing pieces of software I have every seen. Pysco is an JIT compiler for Python that is (nearly) totally transparent. We are using Python for some data mining apps, and the following 2 lines speeded up our code by 250%:

import psyco
psyco.full()

There is an even more amazing post where the author of Psyco discusses Python is faster than C because a JIT compiler can better handle polymorphic data types.

Apparently Pysco will be rolled into the official Python release when it becomes more mature and cross-platform (it runs well only on x86 at the moment). It would be wonderful if PHP moves in this direction in the long run, whether by running on top of Parrot or another JIT.

HTTP and HTML are the Whoopee Cushion and Joy Buzzer of Internet protocols, only comprehensible as elaborate practical jokes. For anyone who has tried to accomplish anything serious on the Web, it's pretty obvious that of the various implementations of a worldwide hypertext protocol, we have the worst one possible.

Except, of course, for all the others. -- Clay Shirky

It's also good to reread Worse is Better by Richard Gabriel at this point.
