> can’t everyone refocus the efforts

You have answered your own question.

Seriously, though. PyPy is 2-3 versions behind CPython (3.11 vs 3.14) and it's not even 100% compatible with 3.11. Libraries such as psycopg and lxml are not fully supported. It's a hard sell.

Pypy only has a handful of devs. If it had the PSF's official blessing, it wouldn't lag behind CPython so much.

But this is exactly my point. The resources pypy has are much smaller. And still for years they managed to follow up being just 2-3 versions behind with features and high on performance.

So why not move all the resources from CPython to close the gap with features faster and replace CPython entirely?

Since this is not happening I expect there to be serious reasons, but I fail to see them. This is what I ask for.
