Why PyPy Runs Python Code Faster Than C: Understanding JIT Compilation
The article explains how PyPy’s just‑in‑time compilation dramatically speeds up Python execution, often surpassing native C performance, by contrasting interpreted, ahead‑of‑time compiled, and JIT approaches and presenting a benchmark that shows PyPy completing a 100 million‑iteration loop in 0.22 seconds versus 10 seconds for CPython.
