today I introduce the concept of "inlining" and how an optimizing compiler can use it to make code faster!

it's funny when Anthony sees a red squiggle and ignores it

If python doesn't support inlining, how were you using it (as you mentioned at the top of the video)? Do you just mean instead of creating a function just having code without a function call?

I use the term to mean a lot of things like "this isn't a useful function, I would just inline it" -- like literally writing the source in the function instead of having a separate one

Why not inline everything, if it sounds so great?

it balloons code size, and in many cases would make the code slower (since it has to ~emulate scoping and such and would need a bunch of setup / teardown anyway). also you wouldn't be able to call external shared objects!

(though yes, there is lto which can enable some optimizations from shared objects)
