It's not just a matter of changing the implementation language from C to Go, they wanted to remove the GIL as well. For that you can't even use the existing CPython design.

I think he's talking about moving their Python codebase to Go, so they don't have to run Python anymore.

You're probably right. He seemed to be questioning the translator so I thought he was suggesting replacing CPython piece by piece with a Go implementation.
