Hello, HPy
We have this same problem in Ruby - implementing the Ruby C extension API if you aren't exactly the same as the reference Ruby implementation is extremely challenging. I think Charlie Nutter proposed something like this for Ruby in the past https://github.com/headius/xni.

Hello, HPy
It still is, and Cython is great for accelerating critical Python code.
A C extension is far preferable when you want to code in C, either to write a new data type[1], or write a Python frontend to a C library[2] that is too complex to be well supported by simple FFI.
I think people use Cython more internally when they value the maintainability of "mostly Python" over the fact that it's slower than what native C would get them.
