How to proceed with rspython

[windelbouwman]

So okay, there are multiple attempts on implementing python in rust.

Notably:

• https://github.com/shinglyu/RustPython
• https://github.com/joncatanio/cannoli

So, join forces or not, these project seem to have different goals, can we share some code for the frontend? How about naming? Should it be called rustpython, rustypython or rspython?

[shinglyu]

Both your implementation and mine aims to be a fully functional python interpreter, while cannoli seems to be more focused on benchmarking the potential slowness of python features. However the cannoli lexer and parser claims to be fully python3 compatible, so we might learn something from it.

Okay, so here is the future: https://github.com/RustPython/RustPython

@windelbouwman how about putting this project into archive mode (it can always be taken out of that mode in the future) to make it obvious to visitors?! Thanks.
