Score: 7.0/10 (Innovation: 6, Technical: 8, Documentation: 9, Utility: 5)

An experimental fork of CPython that adds optional chaining (None-aware attribute access) to the Python language, implemented end-to-end from tokenizer to bytecode. It demonstrates how a real language feature could be added to CPython and serves as a playground for speculative syntax ideas.

Target audience: Python core developers, language designers, and curious Python programmers
