I use PyPy quite often as a 'free' way to make some non-numpy CPU-bound Python script faster. This is also the context for when I bring up PyPy to others.
The biggest blocker for me for 'defaulting' to PyPy is a) issues when dealing with CPython extensions and how quite often it ends up being a significant effort to 'port' more complex applications to PyPy b) the muscle memory for typing 'python3' instead of 'pypy3'.

- mark_l_watson 3y agoI had the same thought. For years I have aliased ‘p’ for ‘python’ and after reading this thread I will alias ‘pp’ for ‘pypy’.
