Limited C API is not as abstract as HPy. Most notably Limited C API still exposes reference counting as memory management mechanism, HPy abstracts that. However, ecosystem wide adoption of limited C API and stable ABI would already improve things significantly.
While hpy is great and I'm excited about it, I would rather bet on the limited C API[0] (which is basically what hpy tries to be if I understand correctly).
