From 9fa72c1ee63dc16bc5a205302b1a8e9b8c5c4a2a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vinta Chen Date: Sun, 16 Aug 2026 13:29:23 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] audit: sweep Implementations, drop ironpython MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Tiers: cpython, micropython, pypy obvious choices (all no-signal — distributed outside pip — so alphabetical); cython (130.3M/mo, kept here by judgment as a Python-superset compiler with no better home) and pyodide (no pip signal; distributed via CDN and npm) challengers. Removed: - ironpython — latest release v3.4.2 (2024-12) still implements Python 3.4-era language, a decade behind CPython (verified from the release feed; the repo itself is active, so this is not an activity-line drop). 2.8K stars. Not an obvious choice for any current job.
