* Cinder is a performance-oriented fork of CPython 3.8 that contains a number of optimizations, including bytecode inline caching, eager evaluation of coroutines, a method-at-a-time [[Just-in-time compilation|JIT]], and an experimental bytecode compiler.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://github.com/facebookincubator/cinder|title=cinder: Instagram's performance-oriented fork of CPython.|website=[[GitHub]]|access-date=4 May 2021|language=en|archive-date=4 May 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210504112500/https://github.com/facebookincubator/cinder|url-status=live}}</ref>
