Python 3.13 Gets a JIT

Yes, but not so good when the JIT-ed Python can no longer reference those fast C code others have written. Every Python JIT project so far has suffered from incompatibility with some C-base Python extension, and users just go back to the slow interpreter in those cases.

"not so good when the JIT-ed Python can no longer reference those fast C code others have written"

I don't see an indication in the article that that's the case. Am I missing something?
