The intended focus was "things other than Python".  RPython and Cython are 
languages other than Python, but I regard them as part of the Python, er, 
ecosystem.  They have advantages and drawbacks that a lot of us are already 
familiar with (even though in your position I imagine you notice the 
misconceptions more than the correct ones).  The thought behind my question was 
to get Pythonista's opinions about things outside of that.
