some insulting FUD that is not worth repeating, and an apology
Just to set the record straight, PyPy has been available on conda-forge [0] since March, and has seen close to 70,000 downloads [1] from that channel alone, in addition to the downloads from https://downloads.python.org/pypy and the other channels where it is available. This is far from CPython's wild popularity, but people are successfully using it with the scientific python stack. It is true there is more work to be done, that does not mean it is useless. It is in CPython's interest to have a viable alternative interpreter for many reasons. The code of conduct [3] should guide discourse when relating to all people and projects in the Python ecosystem, not just internally to CPython.
