However, there are things that were not -quite possible to do with Python, like real time video processing, because -of Python interpreter limitations. This is no longer the case -- I'll present -a few demos and explain the details of those little things that run on PyPy that -make python an even more awesome language than it was before. +PyPy is just a python interpreter. One of the original goals of the project +were to make existing python programs run faster, and PyPy succeeded in that. +However, the even more exciting part is that optimizations implemented in PyPy +let people do things in Python that were not possible before, like real-time +video processing, numeric array manipulation faster than in C etc. etc. - +During the talk I'll present some demos and talk what things are possible having +a decent optimizing just-in-time compiler and briefly discuss strategies that +we used for achieving this. I'll also discuss how faster-than-C, pypy's original +goal from years ago, was after all not that far off. _______________________________________________ pypy-commit mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pypy-commit
