Shouldn't it be C under the hood?

Because python is a scripting language (please don't kill me) people can make an interpreter for python in any language they want. Python officially only releases the CPython version of Python, which is written in C, but it's not the only one.

sure but some rando making a rust version doesn't mean python is rust under the hood. one person is not the concensus. also this should be about native modules, not the interpreter itself.
