Developer @zackoverflow begs Charlie Marsh (creator of uv/ruff, Astral founder) — "the only one who can save us" — to fork CPython and rewrite it in Rust, removing the GIL and adding a concurrent GC, polymorphic inline caching, hidden classes, and a JIT. Marsh replies "Hell yeah." A joke about the community's faith in Astral's Rust-based Python tooling.
