The "Faster CPython" project aims to speed up Python, specifically CPython, by a large factor over the next few releases.
The first release to see the benefits of this work is Python 3.11.

Python 3.11 includes the following major changes:

Adaptive specializing interpreter (PEP 659)
Consecutively allocated execution frames
Zero cost try-except
More regular object layout
Lazily created object dictionaries.

I will describe each of these, describing how each helps speed up Python, and how they interact with each other.

I will end the talk with some possible directions for Python 3.12.
