## What it is
A discussion and work-tracking repository for the Faster CPython project, where performance improvement ideas for the CPython interpreter are proposed as issues and refined. It collects presentations, planning documents, and links to published benchmarking results rather than containing runnable software.

## Use cases
- follow the Faster CPython project's optimization roadmap
- propose an idea for making CPython faster
- read about the specializing adaptive interpreter and PEP 659
- find published CPython benchmarking and pystats results
- understand the tiers of execution in modern CPython

## When to choose
- you want to track or contribute to CPython performance improvement planning
- you need background material on CPython interpreter optimization efforts
- you want to file a new idea for the Faster CPython team to discuss

## When to avoid
- you need actual CPython source code or patches - use python/cpython
- you need benchmark data itself - use faster-cpython/benchmarking-public
- you want a finished tool or library rather than a planning repository

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: developer-tools, documentation, benchmarking
- domain: programming-languages, performance, developer-tools
- platform: python
- tags: cpython, interpreter-optimization, project-planning, discussion-tracker, pep-659
