Pyjion, a drop-in JIT compiler for Python 3.10 is now v1.0
Looks like it was started at Microsoft, the tonybaloney/Pyjion was forked from microsoft/Pyjion.

Why Python 4.0 might never arrive, according to its creator
Pyjion is a Microsoft project that adds a JIT leveraging CoreCLR.

Pyston v2.2: faster and open source
https://github.com/microsoft/Pyjion was a really nice attempt to marry CPython with JIT in a rather generic way, but it was abandoned quickly.

Cinder: Instagram's performance oriented fork of CPython
There are articles like https://instagram-engineering.com/dismissing-python-garbage-... which seem to confirm some problems. One of the people involved with this Cinder project was an original author of https://github.com/microsoft/Pyjion (it's now being revamped by a new dev.) Dino had deep .NET/CLR implementation experience and had been the lead for IronPython which I think spawned the interest in perf improvements through Cinder. I hope this effort is more successful for him.

SDL, SFML, other libraries for game development in C++...?
I only used SFML, currently making a 2D isometric game. I really like it so far overall, easy to use IMO, pretty well documented. Does what I need it to do. Heard good things about SDL2 and also Cinder++ (https://libcinder.org/) also.

GUI Tips C++
What kind of game? You might be better off using a game engine unless it's more of a simple starter project. Check out https://libcinder.org/ or see lots of engines here: https://github.com/collections/game-engines

Something like p5.js but for C++
Try Cinder (https://libcinder.org/). I have not tried it myself but it seems to have the same goals as P5 and Processing (ie. creative coding).

How the Cinder JIT’s inliner works
Kind of a shorty thing for Meta to do when Cinder is already taken by https://libcinder.org
