Here's a weird idea:
Given that the main problem we're trying to solve is the slowness of
dictionary dispatching to functions, how about adding an "inline"
keyword or function?
For example (assuming it's a function):
def handle_data():
self.append(data)
dispatch_dict["foo"] = handle_data
class C:
def read_input(self):
data = "foo"
value = handle_data
inline(dispatch_dict[value])
Note carefully that handle_data() has no paramaters. This solution
would be somewhat more expensive computationally than the switch
construct, but it ought to be cheaper than doing an actual function
call.
