This is what I have submitted: Title: PyPy for the rest of us - A lightweight introduction for people who want to understand the big picture Target audience: intermediate (concerning Python), novice (concerning PyPy) Theme: Python Language Talk format: 30 minutes Summary: PyPy is a new implementation of Python that has been worked on for about 4 years. It has been usable for a couple of years, but there hasn't been a compelling reason for Python users to use PyPy so far. We expect this to change in the next 6-12 months, so now is the time to find out what PyPy is about, This talk explains the big picture of what PyPy is and isn't, in a way that is accessible to everyone. If you want to understand how a JIT compiler generator works, this talk is not for you. If you want to understand where PyPy stands today and what hurdles remain to make your code go faster, you should attend. Speaker: Jacob Hallén Biography: Jacob has been involved with the PyPy project since its first sprint. He has done a lot of auxilliary work like coding library modules, writing funding proposals and doing project management tasks. This means that he has had to bend his mind around the intricate results of the genius coders that surround him. _______________________________________________ [email protected] http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/pypy-dev
