This CPython->.Net->CProthon roadmap will get Prothon out quickly and slowly ease my wild ideas for the interpreter into Prothon. It will also make CPython a multiple language VM for the first time. I've gotten a cold reception to this idea of implementing Prothon on the CPython interpreter. Not only did Christian Tismer (and he should know) and others warn me of the technnical challenge I was signing up for, but there wasn't exactly a groundswell of enthusiasm for the idea overall.

Sorry to hear about this. Hopefully you can end up with a nice enough AST for Prothon that targetting other VMs won't be any more difficult than just writing walker for the AST.
