OK interesting, it actually appears to be written in RPython, not full Python:

(RPython is the "static" subset of Python used to bootstrap PyPy)

Yeah, it's basically a toolkit for building jitted languages. Basically the easiest way to get a tracing jit these days. So it'll be a self-hosting jit similar to pypy or pixie.
