If the reference implementation and API ever switched to a different programming language, I'd personally be fine with changing the 'C" in "CPython" to mean "canonical", but not "core". The term "core" is used for building the interpreter core with access to internals (i.e. Py_BUILD_CORE, Py_BUILD_CORE_BUILTIN, Py_BUILD_CORE_MODULE, and Include/internal/pycore*.h). It does not refer to the overall implementation and API for embedding and extension modules. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
