  • skybison

    A fork of Instagram's experimental performance oriented greenfield implementation of Python. It features small objects; a moving GC; hidden classes; bytecode inline caching; type-specialized bytecode; an experimental template JIT. (by tekknolagi)

  • Kind of! In my fork I run microbenchmarks on each PR. So you can see on, for example, https://github.com/tekknolagi/skybison/pull/456, that the change had a 3.6% improvement on the compilation benchmark. If you expand further, you can see a comparison with CPython 3.8. Unfortunately Skybison is still on 3.8.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
