  1. @ceruleanspark It does cache its bytecode, but even still the slowness is architectural. It's possible to dynammically overload the entire language during runtime, so it doesn't actually know what any particular sequence of instructions actually does until they're being executed. It's possible to achieve tremendous speedups by implimenting the language differently; cython is extremely fast, and stackless is quite good as well. But these alternate implimentations come at the cost of being several language versions behind.
