A Python Interpreter Written in Rust
This is wonderful. This could become the best way to move Python projects to Rust: initially just run on the RustPython interpreter, but then optimize low level routines in Rust. In 15 years I wouldn't be surprised if this or something like it surpasses CPython in popularity.<p>Still, no discussion about Python implementations is complete without some mention of the infamous GIL (global interpreter lock). :-) CPython has it, Pypy doesn't (I think) (EDIT: yes it does), Jython doesn't, etc. What is the GIL plan for RustPython?
