"Just make it faster and everybody will move" is demonstrably false. See PyPy.

PyPy is another implementation. Might as well be another planet. Extensions break or are slower. Different toolkits. DB Drivers not working, etc.

Of course, "no regressions" is another condition. With PyPy lots of C extensions break.

I agree. Introduce a JIT in CPython and optimize the hell out of it like Javascript does.
