>thankfully the whole AI focus has made JITs finally matter in CPython world as well.

Isn't most of the work in Python AI projects done in C or C++ extensions anyway?

Yes, but not everyone loves to have dual stack development, I surely didn't, back in the Tcl days, eventually we ask ourselves for how long.

It is definitely how it works in Python.

As if there is nothing else to chose from regarding Python performance issues and libraries used by folks.

Not everything is fashionable AI.

Can you name specific "un-fashionable" AI projects that are dependent on Python code for things that have any significant performance impact, which are seeing significant benefits from Python JIT implementations?

Microsoft, Facebook, NVidia and Intel apparently can.

I guess you will have to ask Microsoft, Facebook, NVidia and Intel why they are bothering then.

Can you name projects at those companies which meet the description?

The comment thread was specifically about AI, so my comments were specifically meant for that context. I wasn't clear enough, sorry for the confusion.
