GoKawiilCPython maintainers withdraw PEP 836, ending development of experimental JIT compiler
The maintainers of CPython's experimental just-in-time compiler have withdrawn PEP 836, a proposal meant to satisfy the Python steering council's June request for a standards-track plan addressing maintenance, compatibility, and success metrics. The JIT, added by Brandt Bucher in 2024 under the informational PEP 744, had been paused on CPython's main branch pending that approval. With the withdrawal of PEP 836, work on the JIT project appears to have stopped.
