Given all the great ideas here, maybe it’s time to fork Python. Ok, so maybe a close derivative as opposed to a true fork.

Given the language names involved (Rust & Python), I’d like to suggest “Copperhead” as a name for it.



Forking implies keeping the C code.

I think a rewrite in rust is more future proof: we benefit from a safer, more modern language to implement it, which comes with cargo, and hence, the potential of an hybrid python/rust toolchain and dev plateform.


copper doesn't rust (it does patina though)


How would your Python derivative differ from RustPython?
