[pypy-dev] Question on the future of RPython

[Saravanan Shanmugham]

I have researched these projects quite extensively.
Quite similar beasts as far as I can tell.

Cython/Pyrex used to write python extensions. They use statically typed variants 
of Python which gets compiled into C which can then be compiled.

Shedskin is slightly more general purpose Restricted Python to C++ compiler.

PyPy as I understand can convert RPython into C code

Am I missing something here?

Well, it's certainly better to be an almost-expert in two, than a 
no-left-no-right expert in only one.

You might want to closer look at the projects and their goals before 
judging that way.
