Good question!
PyXL today is aimed more at embedded and real-time systems.
For server-class use, I'd need to mature heap management, add basic concurrency, a simple network stack, and gather real-world benchmarks (like requests/sec).
That said, I wouldn’t try to fully replicate CPython for servers — that's a very competitive space with a huge surface area.
I'd rather focus on specific use cases where deterministic, low-latency Python execution could offer a real advantage — like real-time data preprocessing or lightweight event-driven backends.
When I originally started this project, I was actually thinking about machine learning feature generation workloads — pure Python code (branches, loops, dynamic types) without heavy SIMD needs. PyXL is very well suited for that kind of structured, control-flow-heavy workload.
If I wanted to pitch PyXL to VCs, I wouldn’t aim for general-purpose servers right away.
I'd first find a specific, focused use case where PyXL's strengths matter, and iterate on that to prove value before expanding more broadly.

Does your python implementation let you run at speeds like that? If yes, is there any overhead left for dsp - preferably fp based?
