What Hacker News says
3 sourcesWhat advantages does this provide beyond what can be achieved with Cython?
People are in love with the idea of a Pythonic language with the speed of an ahead of time compiled language. The issue is without 100% compatibility with existing CPython code, enabling you to use the existing interesting libraries of the Python ecosystem, you’ll get no interest.
There is a trivial subset of python which seems it could be made substantially faster, for example integer / floating point operations. Frustratingly people make attempts and get nowhere, encountering resistance and red tape. (See
https://discuss.python.org/t/using-tagged-pointers-to-suppor...).
We even had this project, Pon, posted about 3 months ago (https://github.com/can1357/pon).
> pon is a JIT & AoT native compiler and runtime for Python 3.14, written in Rust.

s ever wanted. It was basically dismissed, and hasn’t been worked on since it was posted. If a project like that can’t inspire interest, I don’t know what will.
