Is a common phrase in cyclical industries. Increasing production requires huge capex (like Micron's new $100 billion plant in New York), but the reward for that investment are lower prices...

oystersareyumon Python 3.15's JIT is now back on track

> We don’t have proper free-threading support yet, but we’re aiming for that in 3.15/3.16. The JIT is now back on track.

I recently read an interview about implementing free-threading and getting modifications through the ecosystem to really enable it: https://alexalejandre.com/programming/interview-with-ngoldba...

The guy said he hopes the free-threaded build'll be the only one in "3.16 or 3.17", I wonder if that should apply to the JIT too or how the JIT and interpreter interact.
