Thanks - Mark Shannon is a core committer, right? So hopefully he has standing to get this done.

The plan looks very high level at this point, but it looks like Mark is an expert in interpreter VM and JIT technologies. All I can hope for is that he doesn't get blocked by the "keep cpython simple" obstructionism.




He thinks (they think?) the project will need to be funded to the tune of $2M. That seems like a hefty sum to me, though maybe it's doable.


It's not that hefty once they pitch this improvement to the many wealthy VC-funded companies whose business and data science divisions depend on Python.
