Can i clarify that?
Are you saying that you are going to recompile the existing
C code for pyhton using yoour universal compiler and the
resulting binary file will be a new implementation of
the interpreter that you expect to be faster?

That's what it sounds like to me.
In which case the question is not whether you can write a
better interpreter than CPython but whether you can write
a better compiler than GNU/MING/VC etc

While a universal compiler is  certainly an interesting
and challenging project I'm not sure how much it tells us
about existing Python implementations.

On the other hand, if you are planning on rewriting the
existing interpreter in something other than C, what
is that something?

I'm not sure what relevance this has unless you want
to rewrite Python in neoscript? Or are you translating
the C into neoscript and then compiling it? But in a
later response you seem to say neoscript was not involved?

Slightly confused...
