SPy is a Python variant designed for compilation: well-specified, debuggable, and expressive. It consists of a low-level core which gives control and speed comparable to C, Rust and Go, and powerful metaprogramming features which make possible to build high-level zero-cost abstractions.

SPy is a brand new statically typed variant of Python which aim to get performance comparable to system languages such as C and C++, while preserving the "Pythonic feeling" of the language. This talk will present in the details the ideas behind SPy and its current status.

In the recent years we saw an explosion of usage of Python in the browser: Pyodide, CPython on WASM, PyScript, etc. All of this is possible thanks to the powerful functionalities of the underlying platform, WebAssembly, which is essentially a virtual CPU inside the browser.

C extensions plays a big role in the Python ecosystem, but the existing Python/C API has become a burden for alternative implementations and for innovation of CPython itself. HPy is a joint project by PyPy, CPython, Cython, Numpy and GraalPython developers to design a new future proof API.

Real-world JIT compilers like PyPy and Numba are complex and advanced. However, the basic ideas behind JIT compilers are easy to understand, as this talk aim to show.
