explainer: "CPython is the common implementation of Python. We love C, but we love Rust a little more 😉... that's why we're working on a RustPython, a Python implementation written in Rust. We are doing it for fun, to learn about writing interpreters, and to have a useful, usable and embeddable implementation of Python in Rust."

thank you for the re-write.

RustPython is a Python interpreter written in Rust. RustPython can be
embedded into Rust programs to use Python as a scripting language for your
application, or it can be compiled to WebAssembly in order to run Python
in the browser. RustPython is free and open-source under the MIT license.

I like the progress boxes or text. Is the progress box supposed to show somewhere on the homepage?

I was thinking something like split the goals boxes into 2 vertically with the goal on top and progress on bottom:

(very rough sketch, of course)

yeah that works :D

If you want, you don't have to stick to the background I used. You can probably use borders or some form of highlight.

# TODO: actually measure how much of the test suite we run
RustPython can currently run a little less than half of the CPython
regression test suite, and our API is relatively unstable and
doesn't require decades of backwards-compatibility.
- goal:
Fast, reliable and secure implementation of Python that can be used
from Rust or compiled to WebAssembly.
progress:
RustPython currently runs about 10 times slower than CPython, but there's
still lots of optimizations to be made. RustPython can be easily embedded
into Rust programs simply by adding a line to Cargo.toml, and natively
supports WebAssembly; see our demo above.
