PyPy exists, just not in the box.

  Which is a huge pain point regarding adoption, as proven by how long it has been largely ignored on the Python community.

  It's not scalable because it's a resource hog. Other languages JIT require much less. I think that's the biggest obstacle to its wider adoption.

    That's not the problem with PyPy. The relevant problems problems with PyPy are that it 1. Only offers a performance benefit relative to CPython. Compared to other languages, it's still VERY slow 2. Breaks the ABIs that Python libraries written in C rely on. This means that PyPy is incompatible with almost every major Python package worth using, since nobody writes serious python packages in Python (because it's too slow).
