By now you’re already aware that Python 3.12 has been released. But did you know that several of its new features were developed by Meta?

Meta engineer Pascal Hartig (@passy) is joined on the Meta Tech Podcast by Itamar Oren and Carl Meyer, two software engineers at Meta, to discuss their teams’ contributions to the latest Python release, including new hooks that allow for custom JITs like Cinder, Immortal Objects, improvements to the type system, faster comprehensions, and more.

The Meta Tech Podcast is a podcast, brought to you by Meta, where we highlight the work Meta’s engineers are doing at every level – from low-level frameworks to end-user features.
