There is a large graveyard of JITs and JIT-adjacent projects for Python.

By now it should be clear to anybody working on Python JIT that the probability of failure is 90%.

The future is probably rewriting performance critical Python code in Rust instead of trying to fix Python.

Or maybe a future LLM could add a JIT to Python in an effort-run.

The future is to write Rust in a python interpreter compatible way leveraging large parts of the python ecosystem.

This will require minor tweaks to the language and perhaps a forked interpreter (a forked parser already exists).

Then you solve the two language problem with a combination of probabilistic and deterministic translation.
