To a first approximation, everybody uses CPython, the reference interpreter. Of the other implementations, only PyPy is really production-ready.

- BiteCode_dev 5y agoI think GraalVM is production ready too, but the JVM is not very popular with the python crowd and vice versa.
- pansa2 5y agoGraalPython describes itself as “an early-stage experimental implementation of Python”. https://github.com/oracle/graalpython https://github.com/oracle/graalpython
- BiteCode_dev 5y agoI stand corrected. GraalVM seems mature, but apparently the Python support is not.

- pansa2 5y agoThe changeover to Python 3 killed it AFAIK. Same for IronPython.
- BiteCode_dev 5y agoLast commit on Iron Python 3: 44 minutes ago (https://github.com/IronLanguages/ironpython3 https://github.com/IronLanguages/ironpython3) Jython 3 has a roadmap with 3.8 has a target: https://www.jython.org/jython-3-mvp.html https://www.jython.org/jython-3-mvp.html Not ready, but not cancelled.
- rrdharan 5y agoGiven it was created by / for Instagram, I’d say it’s likely that Cinder is (machine count wise) seeing far more production use than even Pypy, but perhaps you mean production ready for users other than its creator? (E.g. hhvm at Facebook vs everyone else who tried to use it after it was first publicly released)
