Rust? eww 🤮. Someone should rewrite it in Java(!)

No sorry, I don't know Java so I can't easily contribute. There are so many people like me!!! We should write it in python so we can reach a wider audience of contributors. From 13 year olds, career and hobby devs, and academia! Python has many mature frameworks and lots of developers who use them. Another implementation is a great idea!

Let's rewrite whole Debian Operating system in Python. I mean everything from Kernel, drivers etc all the way to user apps like browser, games, multimedia players etc.

... That also means figuring out how to get python to bootstrap itself. I'm in, just because I want to see how slow it would be lol

That's called Piefed. Golang and Ruby are still missing though. Maybe there could even be an implementation in C.
