Pyston v2.2: faster and open source
https://github.com/microsoft/Pyjion was a really nice attempt to marry CPython with JIT in a rather generic way, but it was abandoned quickly.

Cinder: Instagram's performance oriented fork of CPython
There are articles like https://instagram-engineering.com/dismissing-python-garbage-... which seem to confirm some problems. One of the people involved with this Cinder project was an original author of https://github.com/microsoft/Pyjion (it's now being revamped by a new dev.) Dino had deep .NET/CLR implementation experience and had been the lead for IronPython which I think spawned the interest in perf improvements through Cinder. I hope this effort is more successful for him.

Pyjion – A Python JIT Compiler
Isn't this what the GraalVM [1] guys are also trying to do? Seems like today the competition is between who is more polyglot than the other, JVM, CLR or WASM.

Pyston v2.2: faster and open source
I'd say graal is even less mature than Pyston. See https://github.com/oracle/graalpython/tree/master/docs/user
> At this point, the Python runtime is made available for experimentation and curious end-users.
