@sbinet @ncw and anyone interested...

Currently, gpython's 'About' line on github is:

gpython is a python interpreter written in go "batteries not included"

After the upcoming worklist, I think it would be good time to consider shifting this project's tagline to something that speaks to its strengths and how it offers value now and future forward. I see gpython as a leading choice for a Go developers looking for an interpreter to embed for real-world use -- especially if their "customers" tend to be non-professional developers, such as scientists.

Some ideas that seem in the right direction...

gpython is a Python interpreter written in Go,
offering concurrent execution and new ways to (offer|deploy|use) your Go packages

gpython is a Go-based Python interpreter consistent with Go concurrency,
offering new ways to (offer|deploy|use) your Go packages

And is it "Python" or "python", I can never know. Proper noun right? I definitely like "Go" over "go" when writing it in sentences to humans, so I'm inclined to be consistent with referring to Python. Or maybe there is Python the language but there is python code. I would love for someone to lmk to put my squirrel brain to rest on this. 🐿️

I made this tagline so that people would know that gpython wasn't a drop in replacement for python!

How about something like

gpython is a Python interpreter written in Go to embed into your Go programs or run standalone

???

I think you nailed it Nick! Good to hear from ya on this and it's perfect that you're the one to graduate it!

Considering that's the first thing folks often see, I think it's a game changer to offer a framing that offers a dev a clear cut explanation on what a project offers their world.
