> JIT in CPython has nothing to do with PyPy or GraalPy: it's its own thing.

I haven't said otherwise.

If you cannot understand what that means, I am not a English professor.

I understand your words, I don’t understand why you think they’re relevant to the discussion.

Relegated to niche users, just like the other two.

Except it’s not. The intention of JIT in CPython is to make it into the main branch feature complete. If they can’t get the necessary support then it won’t be relegated to niche uses, it’ll be abandoned and need a new effort to get off the ground.

Not even remotely the same context.

It certainly is the same context, given the Python culture to ignore JITs, rewrite in C, and call it "Python" libraries.

We have been here several times, versus the other dynamic languages, and it has nothing to do with the usual excuse how dynamic Python happens to be.
