The /core/ of CPython is written in C.
CPython is the /canonical/ implementation of Python.
The "C" in "CPython" stands for C.
Not so "unconfirmed"!
Look at this article, I recently read:
https://www.analyticsinsight.net/cpython-to-step-over-javascript-in-developing-web-applications/
There is a sentence in ther that begins with "CPython, short for Core
Python, a reference implementation that other Python distributions are
derived from, ...".
Anyway, I wrote "IMHO".
Do you have any credible reference to your assertion "The "C" in
"CPython" stands for C."?
Thank you.
Well ... I read the responses and they are not touching the point!
I just answered, with my opinion based on articles I have read in the
past. Certainly I could not be sure. That's why I responded as an
opinion (IMHO) and not as an assertion.
Stefan Ram responded with a, at least, not very polite post.
That's why I needed to somehow "defend" why I posted that response, and,
BTW, trying to learn why he said that the C in CPython means "written in C".
I still find very strange, to not say weird, that a compiler or
interpreter has a name based in the language it was written. But, again,
is just my opinion and nothing more.
I rest my case.
Thank you all.
