    One of the most promissing projects :

      * it keeps CPython as is.
  * hence retains compat with extensions.
  * but still has the potential to improve performance like pypy.
  * and yet can be shipped just as an additional compiled lib inside the Python dist.
    If it ever works, it will be wonderful.

    Thanks to all of the great questions we got, we have now written an FAQ for the project: https://github.com/Microsoft/Pyjion#faq

    How does Pygion compare with IronPython?

    Is there a PEP for this, or is it too early, more of a proof of concept?
