This week’s release of Python 3.12 marks a milestone in our efforts to make our work developing and scaling Python for Meta’s use cases more accessible to the broader Python community. Open source at Meta is an important part of how we work and share our learnings with the community.
For several years, we have been sharing our work on Python and CPython through our open source Python runtime, Cinder. We have also been working closely with the Python community to introduce new features and optimizations to improve Python’s performance and to allow third parties to experiment with Python runtime optimization more easily.

ARPANET (Advanced Research Projects Agency Network) was the first computer network that used packet switching to connect geographically dispersed computers and laid the foundation for the development of the internet. It was developed by the United States Department of Defense’s Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) in the late 1960s and early 1970s to connect computers and researchers at various universities and research institutions. The U.S. government funded ARPANET to create
