explainer: "CPython is the reference implementation of Python. We love C, but we love Rust a little more 😉... that's why we are creating a Rust Implementation of Python. We are doing it for fun, to learn and to have a useful + usable and maybe a better implementation of Python in Rust."

explainer: "CPython is the common implementation of Python. We love C, but we love Rust a little more 😉... that's why we are creating a Rust alternative. We are doing it for fun, to learn and to have a useful, usable and hopefully better implementation of Python in Rust."
There are many implementation of Python. For example: [CPython](https://github.com/python/cpython) (C) which is "the standard", [Jython](https://www.jython.org/) (Java), [IronPython](https://ironpython.net/) (.NET), [PyPy](https://www.pypy.org/) (Python) and [Stackless](http://www.stackless.com/) to name a few.

Each of these implementations offer some benefits: Jython for example compiles Python source code to Java byte code, then routes it to the Java Virtual Machine. Because Python code is translated to Java byte code, it looks and feels like a true Java program at runtime and so it integrates well with Java applications.

IronPython "is tightly integrated with the .NET Framework" so that "IronPython can use the .NET Framework and Python libraries", and vice versa, "other .NET languages can use Python code just as easily".

We want to unlock the same possibilities that Jython and IronPython do, but for the Rust programming language and then we want to do some more. Using RustPython, we want to compile Python to WebAssembly, and allow Python to run natively in the browser.
