pypy is fast, but even were this written in C, there's still the kernel-userland boundary to contend with.

If you're going to run the file system in user space, there's no reason not to just use normal ZFS. The problem with ZFS licensing is only in combining CDDL+GPL in one unit. If you're working across the kernel/userspace boundary, there's already no problem. ZoL even already ships a fuse version that works fine.

This is not true. A FUSE implementation is wanted though: https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/issues/8

Oops; I didn't realize the existing fuse version wasn't built from ZoL. Thanks for pointing that out.
