Does Python plan to add JIT or get rid of the GIL?
Sadly, both Jython and IronPython have stalled somewhat. IronPython is slowly working towards Python 3 support. Jython has a roadmap towards Python 3 support, but their version 3 repo is not in active development.

How are Python and C related? I've read that Python is 'made from C'. Does that mean that Python is just an abstraction of lots of large C functions?
The program I linked is the Python interpreter you're probably using, but the abstract set of rules that make up Python are not in any particular way tied to C. You could also use a Java program or a C# program to interpret your Python code. They've even made Python in Python itself, although it uses a more restricted version of Python so it's easier to compile it.

I mean, there is active work on the repo for it. They even just released a new alpha version yesterday for Python 3.4 support.

how is python actually implemented?
Quick note - CPython is the OG and most popular implementation of Python, but it is not the only implementation of Python. Some other fairly well-known examples are Jython (Java implementation), RustPython (Rust implementation), or the more mind-bending PyPy (Python implemented via Python 🤯). Python is an interpreted language, and you can think of all these different Python implementations as being different implementations of the interpreter itself. The interpreter is the program that takes your Python code and executes it via a virtual machine. This differs from a compiled language (like C) which needs the high-level C code to first be converted to machine code and then executed by the CPU.
