Yes, it avoids an unnecessary duplication of effort as well as a
substantial loss of compatibility that all non-CPython based
implementations suffer from.

You'd be surprised to see how much of Python we implement, though,
including some of the builtins. You might want to revise your opinion once
you start digging into it. It's always easy to disagree at the surface.

Nuitka was on the list as well.

Sure, that works.
