RamaLama stands on the shoulders of giants by building upon llama.cpp (and other projects like minja, podman, vllm, etc.), we've been contributing back also Sergio Lopez, Michael Engel and I are contributing back to llama.cpp (just three examples of RamaLama people off the top of my head)

We write the higher level abstractions in python3 (with no dependancies on python libs outside of the standard library) because it's the heavy-lifting that needs to be done in C++. Python is a nice community friendly language also, many people know how to write it.
