The first year of free-threaded Python

On the other news, Microsoft dumped the whole faster Python team, apparently the 2025 earnings weren't enough to keep the team around.

Lets see whatever performance improvements still land on CPython, unless other company sponsors the work.

I guess Facebook (no need to correct me on the name) is still sponsoring part of it.

It wouldn't have bothered me if you just said "Facebook" - I probably wouldn't have even noticed it. But I'm really curious why you chose to write "Facebook", then apparently noticed the issue, and instead of replacing it with "Meta" decided to add the much longer "(no need to correct me on the name)". What axe are you grinding?

Yes, because I am quite certain someone without anything better to do would correct me on that.

For me Facebook will always be Facebook, and Twitter will always be Twitter.

Well, you sure managed to avoid that by setting up camp on that hill. Kudos on so much time saved.

Well, for me the product will always be "Thefacebook", but that's since I haven't used it since. But I do respect that there's a company running it now that does more stuff and contributes to open source projects.
