Thanks for doing that! It's nice to hear that it's mostly working. Indeed at one point we could probably consider to use SymPy as some sort of benchmark for PyPy – it's not easy to find nice pure-Python programs that are computationally bound. > However, sometimes, it fails, because of the bug[2], that we reported > two months ago.

Potentially, int_w itself should be calling __int__, but we are not sure whether this is good for all use-cases of int_w. > Also another question - what is your plan with your RPython to > javascript converter - are you planning to create something like the > Google Web Toolkit, or just leave it as is, if someone becomes > interested?

I think the PyPy team cannot put much more effort into this than what we did already. So we would need somebody interested who would work mostly exclusively on the JavaScript backend to make it live up to its full potential.
