# Rust-Python

**WORK IN PROGRESS - DO NOT USE THIS CODE!!!!**

A python interpreter written in Rust.

## Outline

CPython has the global interpreter lock, which turns possibly concurrent

programs into serial programs. My understanding is that this is used to

ensure reference counts are accurate.

Rust has concurrent primitives such as

[`Arc`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/sync/struct.Arc.html) which handle

atomic reference counting.

Can we write a bytecode-interpreter that is concurrent?
