PyPy is python implemented in RPython, which is technically a python subset. It's so restricted it might as well be a different language though.

- bjoli 6mo agoIt is restricted in a way that you would restrict yourself to write high speed software in most languages, and I found it is not that restrictive compared to C that you would have to use if you were to write a fast Python library.
- Doxin 6mo agooh for sure, but I still feel like telling people pypy is written in python is misleading. it's written in something significantly like python, but it's not python.
- mjmas 6mo ago> technically a python subset So it can just run under CPython? If so, then that isn't too misleading.
- bjoli 6mo agoYes. It can run under Cpython (2.7).
