CFFI at the time was the fastest integration with PyPy and compatible with CPython but it has a lot of overhead, native extensions can be implemented to favor one or another, That's why I'm reworking this without CFFI using HPy with has less overhead and will allow to CPython to be way faster just by cutting the CFFI overhead. Also we implemented a lot of Python code, asyncio is also faster in PyPy and PyPy can interop faster with native than CPython |
