Pre-PEP: Rust for CPython
Interesting proposal, but with severe risks: becoming dependent on a single specific compiler and rustc could include malicious code that isn’t obvious to an outside auditor. See https://aeb.win.tue.nl/linux/hh/thompson/trust.html Ken Thompson demonstrated this.
But what will the future of RustPython be? https://github.com/RustPython/RustPython/
Major shifts like this are complex, not so only from a technical perspective but even more because a lot of humans with different opinions are involved. But radical changes are sometimes needed to be innovative again.

WasiPy – Python Interpreter in Wasi
I have been experimenting with WebAssembly/Wasi over the last couple of years and decided it would be time to have another look and see what the state of things is. I it would be interesting to try and embed python in a wasm component for its nice sandbox properties.
There's a super cool project https://github.com/RustPython/RustPython which is a python interpreter in rust which can compile to wasip2 so I hooked that up and it seems to work well.
Its easy to build wasi components in rust now with the wasip2 target, excited to see where things head over the next few years.

From Async/Await to Virtual Threads
Totally agree, the FFI escape hatch and excellent tooling from rust, maturin pyo3 etc means so many python problems can just be solved with rust. Which begs the question, has anyone tried doing a greenthread implementation in rust? Maybe offload some of the dynamically evaled python code to a seperate process maybe with https://github.com/RustPython/RustPython
