Abstract
CPython 3.15 brings updates that change how we debug, start, and scale Python systems — not just syntax sugar.
In this talk, I’ll go deep on 2 high-impact topics:
- Tachyon profiling: find bottlenecks with low overhead
- FreeThreading updates vs. Go/Java/.NET, where CPython wins, where it doesn’t
Then I’ll do a fast sweep of:
- explicit lazy imports: faster startup for your app
- frozendict, and its design
- unpacking in comprehensions: your eyes love it!
- UTF-8 by default: already feeling more confident?
