But RPython used to be the reduced version of the Python language. What name do you give to the jit-compiler generator?


The same, as far as I've seen. RPython is both the VM-framework and the Python subset which exists within (and for) that framework (RPython is not considered and developed as a general purpose language, but as a language for building VMs within the RPython system/framework/toolset).

The important distinction really is between RPython (a language and framework for building virtual machines) and PyPy (a virtual machine implemented in/on RPython)
