Hi there, http://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/200x/2007/11/08/PyPy
It might be worth it for someone to comment on it, as the one comment there is rather negative about PyPy (it'd really help to have PyPy interpreters in production somewhere, as before you do, the criticism in the comment cannot be properly countered) I'm not sure how to interpret Tim Bray's post. Frankly, I was a bit disappointed by what made it in there. It's interesting to analyze as it gives some clue about how your pitch was received and understood. It's too bad the potential of a compliant, maintainable Python implementation on the JVM doesn't seem to make it to his blog. I assume you also pitched actual work on *Python* on, say, the JVM, to him as a possible candidate for funding. As opposed to any arbitrary language, which basically lets Tim change the topic to a Ruby discussion. It's also too bad that the whole idea of instrumenting the translation process to do neat stuff doesn't really make it to his blog post. The tainting stuff is mentioned, but that's it. What about garbage collectors and JITs? Regards, Martijn _______________________________________________ [email protected] http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/pypy-dev
