Grumpy: Go running Python

Who says CPython is not well-optimized?

CPython is 25 years old -- people have been making it faster for a long time. Python 3.6, the latest release, has many performance improvements, cf. http://www.infoworld.com/article/3120952/application-develop...

Interestingly, achieving performance parity with CPython is one of the biggest challenges of this project. There are certain things CPython does very fast like allocating and freeing many small objects.

So, Grumpy currently isn't faster than CPython?

Notably, some of the 3.6 performance improvements were merged in from PyPy :-)
