| Looks like it supports pandas and numpy. That's cool!

| Looking at this and also at

|
| Does this get rid of the GIL?

| Yes

| Interesting, but how fast is it, especially compared to PyPy?
| Didn't find this information, neither in the top nor the other

| The Python smart contract framework is called Brownie.

| This is great, I'm in love with the idea of something like Jython

| userbase, I'm hopeful still.
|
| I'm gonna try this out later and see what kinda numbers this
| thing can actually do.
|
| Edit: hm, this hasn't actually been touched since 2018, that's
| not good.

| GraalPython went on from where this left off.

| Thanks for telling me, Mr Seaton!
|
| I'm glad to know, I had no idea, I thought ruby had the Graal
| situation monopolized.
|
| Where could I find out about developing for Graal? If I had a
| custom vm for my own language, how could I go about moving to
| Graal?
|
| Perhaps such a thing is not done, and I'm just ignorant to
| it.

| From what I can see in ZipPy it's leveraging Jython at least

| a fairly clean implementation?)
