A comment on Pyston v2: Faster Python. Parent comment
There are a lot of reasons actually
- Performance limited by old CPython design. If you fork it you have to deal with all the legacy code.
- CPython is limited to 1 thread because of the GIL.
- Specific memory allocators, C structures, reference counting, specific garbage collector etc.
