1. What did you do this week?
This week I started up with optimizing "map" built-in but later realised that I first need to optimize "zip" as there is no support on Nuitka for it as "map" is dependent on it. Initially I implemented the C backend for Python2 "zip" function but after discussing with my mentor we decided to keep only C backend for Python3 "zip" and depend on re-formulation for Python2 "zip" built-in.
2. What is coming up next?
Next up I will optimize zip for Python 3 and then get back to optimize "map" built-in.
3. Did you get stuck anywhere?
Well, I wouldn't say I was stuck anywhere but I had a lot of discussions on developing an optimization approach for the built-in mentioned above.
Thanks!
