Someday.
Yeah.
Right.
Not today, but someday.
Yeah.
And that'll be a beautiful day because then you'll get a whole bunch of advantages and you'll get massive speed ups and things like this.
Exactly.
But we're not willing to wait for that.
Python is too important.
The ecosystem is too broad.
We want to both be able to build Mojo out.
We also want to do it the right way without intense time pressure.
We're obviously moving fast.
And so what we do is we say, okay, well, let's make it so you can import an arbitrary existing package.
arbitrary, including like you write your own on your local disk or whatever.
It's not, it's not like a standard, like an arbitrary package and import that using CPython.
Because CPython already runs all the packages, right?
And so what we do is we built an integration layer where we can actually use CPython.
Again, I'm practical.
And to actually just load and use all the existing packages as they are.
