Speed is not a feature if there isn't even syntax parity with CPython.
- maxbond 9mo agoNot having parity is a property they want, similar to Starlark. They explicitly want a less capable language for sandboxing. Think of it as a language for their use case with Python's syntax and not a Python implementation. I don't know if it's a good idea or not, I'm just an intrigued onlooker, but I think lifting a familiar syntax is a legitimate strategy for writing DSLs.
- OutOfHere 9mo agoNot having syntax parity with Python == not Python. End of story. The title stays "Python interpreter" which accordingly it is not.
