I am at the pre planning stages of making a Rust implementation of the
Python virtual machine and to avoid ambiguity I've been working with Rython
as the name. I tried looking for a Monty Python themed name but the good
ones seem to be taken.
Otherwise as for a timeline, solo I figure it's going to take me a couple
years to get something that actually passes cpython's python unit-tests.
