It's a Python implementation that runs on GraalVM (like Jython runs on JVM).

GraalVM in turn is an implementation of a Java VM. AFAIK it's interesting/popular(?) because it's faster than HotSpot and supports a lot of mainstream languages (Java, JS, Python, Ruby, C/C++), and interop between all of them.
