Running Python on .NET 5

 Running Python on .NET 5

Pyjion is a project to replace the core execution loop of CPython by transpiling CPython bytecode to ECMA CIL and then using the .NET 5 CLR to compile that into machine code. It then executes the machine-code compiled JIT frames at runtime instead of using the native execution loop of CPython.

Yes they did, and I got interviewed by Kevin Scott and Anders Hejlsberg (and others). How cool is that. :-) (They also asked for my diploma from University?!)
