Ruby 2.2 and PHP 7 are faster than Python 2.

Python 3 is slower than Python 2.

Performance is a attractive feature. Python 3 lacks it.

How can I help your work?

I hope that these API will create more optimizer projects than just
fatoptimizer.

For example, I expect more specialized optimizers like numba or
pythran which are very efficient but more specific (ex: numeric
computations) than fatoptimizer. Maybe not new optimizers, but just
glue to existing static compilers (numba, pythran, cython, etc.).

Oh, they are a lot of things to do! My patches for PEP 509, 510 and
511 still need some love (reviews):

http://bugs.python.org/issue26058
http://bugs.python.org/issue26098
http://bugs.python.org/issue26145

I'm finishing my patch adding ast.Constant. This one is less
controversal, it has no impact on performance nor the Python
semantics:

http://bugs.python.org/issue26146


But these patches are boring C code. You may prefer to work on the
funny fatoptimizer project which is written in pure Python:
