I'm in the target market but can't use this unless it supports all of my Python libraries like Django and Numpy.

It seems to me there is a huge demand for making Python faster, whether it be via making a more optimisation friendly subset, or ideally throwing engineering talent into improving the interpreter.

V8 shows this can be done with highly dynamic Javascript. I guess we need a big corporate sponsor or the community to fund some positions.

It's kind of crazy how few developers are working on optimising cPython, it may even be a worth it for environmental reasons.
