I'll tell you something cool.

this entire site is running on my custom runtime for Python. its a runtime that is designed to add go-style networking to python. its targeted at python 3.13t+ free-threaded, so each thread is a real OS thread without the GIL. but what my runtime does is allow for the equivalent of "Go routines" in python. you end up being able to run millions of light-weight stackful functions, and schedule them across OS threads.

Now, consider that a similar framework like django in python was hand-optimised to within an inch of its life, and any mistake still has the potential to slow down the entire process and event loop the request is in, and the difference here is massive. so yeah, this whole site functions as one big experiment to showcase the state-of-the art in Python networking.
