Where it surfaced on Hacker News
2026-10-28
“That implementation is called GraalPy and it builds on the JVM: https://graalpy.org/ A bit like Chrome there's a fully open source version and a proprietary version with a few extra bells and whistles, but the latter is entirely free for both open and commercial usage (you can't redistribute it for a fee). So you may as well use it.”
