We have custom stack and dictionary implementations just for the sake of speed. We also have fast paths for I/O operations and function calls.

All of that could very likely be carried over almost unchanged into a Cython version. I don't see why it should take multiple months. It's not a matter of rewriting it from scratch, just translating it from one dialect (C) to another (the C subset of Cython).
