How I love pypy for certain tasks. On my laptop:

  ᐅ time uv run -p cpython-3.14 leibniz.py
  3.1415926525880504
  
  ________________________________________________________
  Executed in   38.24 secs    fish           external
     usr time   37.91 secs  158.00 micros   37.91 secs
     sys time    0.16 secs  724.00 micros    0.16 secs
  
  ᐅ time uv run -p pypy leibniz.py
  3.1415926525880504
  
  ________________________________________________________
  Executed in    1.52 secs    fish           external
     usr time    1.16 secs    0.25 millis    1.16 secs
     sys time    0.02 secs    1.29 millis    0.02 secs
It was a free 25x speedup.




Sure, but at the end of the day, youre still just polishing a turd, and you give up a LOT of ecosystem just to get a still deeply unimpressive benchmark time.
