What about just the end user ones. heatclient etc; no servers?

But, as has been discussed in > other threads: Yeah, thats not a reason for pypy (today). Though - pypy is faster than go head-to-head in my previous benchmarking work, so I'd be interested in the details of the swift go comparison methodology, if performance is the key thing being looked for. CSP as a way of writing concurrent programs seems like a stronger argument to me... Anyhow, I hope we do find two champions for the client libraries, because I believe in enabling as many people as possible to use our clouds; and just like we have php sdk, it would be great to know that our python sdk's work on pypy too. -Rob -- Robert Collins <[email protected]> Distinguished Technologist HP Converged Cloud __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: [email protected]?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
