Unladen Swallow is an optimization branch of CPython, intended to be fully compatible and significantly faster. The project is sponsored by Google, and the project owners, Thomas Wouters, Jeffrey Yasskin, and Collin Winter are themselves full-time Google employees.[1] It aims to achieve its goals by supplementing CPython's custom virtual machine with a JIT built using LLVM. Unladen Swallow is hosted on Google Code. [2] The project had stated a goal of a five-times speed improvement over CPython.[3]
