Recent optimizations in Python's Reference Counting

CPython 3.14+ introduced LOADFASTBORROW, a bytecode optimization that skips reference count increments when loading local variables in hot loops, using static lifetime analysis to ensure safety. This reduces memory management overhead in performance-critical code like tight loops, mimicking Rust-style borrowing while preserving Python's reference counting model, with further JIT optimi...
