   This series of blog posts is also great: https://tech.blog.aknin.name/tag/internals/ I spent a lot of time reading it while working on the mixed-mode Python debugger for Visual Studio (which, coincidentally, supports both Python 2 and Python 3 - they do really share a lot of things). Much of that work involved parsing and writing internal Python data structures directly, since Python interpreter may be unusable when…

   I’m not a Rubyist, but I’ve written a post recently about using PATCH to increment/decrement counters atomically. Perhaps it could be of value here, I’d love to see it in Rails: http://tech.blog.aknin.name/2012/02/08/restfully-atomically-... (commented this on the article as well)

   I don't think so; https://docs.python.org/3/library/dis.html#python-bytecode-i... was the closest I found when I was writing a compiler for a subset of Python, and that doc was a little sketchy and out of date. I ended up consulting the CPython source a lot and reading some helpful blog series: http://docs.python.org/devguide/compiler.html http://akaptur.github.io/blog/categories/python-internals/ http://eli.thegree…

   I you want to see some real Python internals (complete with low-level C gore), take a look at Yaniv Aknin's series starting here - http://tech.blog.aknin.name/2010/04/02/pythons-innards-intro... ... and my own series - http://eli.thegreenplace.net/category/programming/python/pyt... , in particular starting with http://eli.thegreenplace.net/2010/06/30/python-internals-add...

   There's a good post from late 2011, in the context of 12-factor deployment on Heroku, where the author muses about just using a pure Python server behind a CDN to serve static content: ...and yeah, I think I should bloody use this server as a backend to serve my in production. http://tech.blog.aknin.name/2011/12/28/i-wish-someone-wrote-...

    Thanks for the link! I'm not interested in Ruby per se, but it's fascinating nonetheless from the perspective of data structures and how they are implemented in C. On a related note, I've found a much less comprehensive (but still useful) guide to Python internals: http://tech.blog.aknin.name/category/my-projects/pythons-inn... .
