</div>A port to another language would not be a huge effort per se.<br>
The choice on Stackless Python has been made mainly because it offers<br>
the ability to run tasklets, a sort of very light weight threads.<br>
The program can spawn a large number of them without suffering from<br>
big overhead on memory and cpu.<br>
<br>
Hence, the port should be made on a language that supports them. It's<br>
a kind of coroutines.<br>
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coroutine" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coroutine</a><br>
You can see that C does not support them per se.<br>
<br>
And of course the port should have a reason. E.g. is lua more<br>
supported than stackless python on embedded devices?<br>
