it is great that you joined the pypy-dev list! Welcome!
Thanks! :)
We have been following LLVM with interest for quite some time and are at a stage where we are seriously considering how we (re-)organize our translation backends and LLVM is a primary contender, (if we can make sure that the installation of the very basic tools is feasible :-) Special thanks, btw, to Carl Friedrich Bolz which went ahead with LLVM integration where the rest of us will have to catch up, soon. We are currently buried in refactorings to make type inference and some internal mechanisms on the pypy side easier ...
Ok. :)
When PyPy follows the LLVM route i personally hope that we can contribute something like a "(restricted) python frontend" for LLVM back (which would likely require an install of Python but that should be easier than a multitude of C++ libraries :-)
That would be great. C/C++ are pretty ugly, I'm sure a (even restricted) python front-end would be much nicer. :)
