Python 3.14 has been officially released, showcasing significant speed improvements over its predecessors, particularly in single-threaded performance. Benchmarks conducted on various Python interpreters indicate that while Python 3.14 is faster than earlier versions, it still falls short of native code performance seen in languages like Rust and Pypy. The results highlight ongoing development in Python performance, but also caution against over-reliance on generic benchmarks for performance assessments.

The GitHub repository "Are-we-fast-yet" by Rochus Keller features various implementations of the Are-we-fast-yet benchmark suite in multiple programming languages, including Oberon, C++, C, Pascal, Micron, and Luon. It serves as an extension to the main benchmark suite, providing additional resources and documentation for users interested in performance testing across different programming languages.
