PyPy doesn't do anything to help startup time. In fact, it's typically a bit slower to start up than CPython.
You reap the speed benefits from PyPy once it's been running for a little while and it can JIT compile the hot bits of code.

If the community doesn't care about startup time, you'd expect more adoption of an implementation that sacrifices that startup time for later performance.
- CamouflagedKiwi 10mo agoOh I see, sorry. I misread it as meaning that you'd expect the community to use PyPy more to alleviate the startup time issue.
