IronPython – Python 3 for .NET

Does Python plan to add JIT or get rid of the GIL?
3 projects | /r/Python | 7 Oct 2022

Sadly, both Jython and IronPython have stalled somewhat. IronPython is slowly working towards Python 3 support. Jython has a roadmap towards Python 3 support, but their version 3 repo is not in active development.
How are Python and C related? I've read that Python is 'made from C'. Does that mean that Python is just an abstraction of lots of large C functions?

The program I linked is the Python interpreter you're probably using, but the abstract set of rules that make up Python are not in any particular way tied to C. You could also use a Java program or a C# program to interpret your Python code. They've even made Python in Python itself, although it uses a more restricted version of Python so it's easier to compile it.
Will we ever get a new CLR language to replace C# Like Kotlin did for Java?

I mean, there is active work on the repo for it. They even just released a new alpha version yesterday for Python 3.4 support.
