Dev Call: 12 August 2021

Present

Florian, Stepan, Tim, Matti

Matti and Florian are planning to to pair programming sessions to move the Cython backend forward. Other people may also join to watch and learn :)
Stepan is joining from the GraalPython team to begin porting other extensions to HPy, starting with small ones
We discussed that to really fully port NumPy with all optional components to HPy, we'll need the pybind11 and Cython ports done, too.
Florian is investigating why the nightly binaries for GraalPython are slower than the development builds on our machines for the ujson benchmark
The sprint in Linz looks like it won't be going forward due to increasing lockdown measures again for international travellers
