pypy is great. what makes me sad is "they just stay behind cpython 1 or 2 versions"..

1-2 versions minor versions is pretty great. Most Linux distros that are deployed are the same!

PyPy claims to be compatible with CPython 3.6.9 (https://www.pypy.org/compat.html). CPython 3.7 is currently the most common Python version. The project I work on since last year depends on features introduced in CPython 3.7. The migration to CPython 3.8 in already underway on many Linux distros (Fedora is already on it). So PyPy is unfortunately too far behind.

So if you're getting your PyPy through your distribution, we're looking at 3-4 versions lag in total.
