Not that it's necessarily a bad thing, but it looks like the Pyston project isn't getting a lot of updates:

https://github.com/pyston/pyston/commits/v2.0

I updated the repo in the middle of this comment thread; it used to show the v1 code, but since that was confusing people now it's just a stub that redirects you to the blog.

Project says: A faster and highly-compatible implementation of the Python programming language. The code here is out of date, please follow our blog

where is the code? the repo looks relatively untouched, the blog directs to this repo for filing issues. https://github.com/pyston/pyston

I think it's private. Looks like a for profit fork.

Pyston v2 is closed source (for now?). From the blog post:

> Our plan is to open-source the code in the future, but since compiler projects are expensive and we no longer have benevolent corporate sponsorship, it is currently closed-source while we iron out our business model.
