Hi Armin, Where I am going with this, I guess, is just how much of the PyPy Python interpreter can be reused in writing the Scheme interpreter. By the looks of it most of the machinery is already in place. And the flip side of the the question is how easily would it be to move those modifications back into Python? Of course the Scheme requirements may be incompatible with Python. -- Lenard Lindstrom <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ [email protected] http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/pypy-dev
