In case I didn't make it clear in the previous message, I'm talking about implementing a C-based Prothon interpreter (CProthon) by heavily modifying the C-based Python interpreter (CPython). This would be done carefully in a way that would keep the Python C-based extensions compatible. The Prothon language itself would not be compatible with the Python language so any part of the library written in Python would need to be manually ported. There would be a utility to textually replace Python constructs with Prothon constructs but this would only accomplish 90% of the porting. So this will not be exactly the same as Prothon on .Net where multiple languages can use the library with 100% compatibility, but it will be quite close, since the most interesting libraries are C extensions and the Python to Prothon porting will be easy.
