You wrote: > Lets not be a little presumptious shall we. Well, rereading previous comments it is clear that: a) you don't know well some basics of virtual machines which have been explained Which is fine, but then you shouldn't consider yourself a peer to developers of these projects. And you shouldn't claim you have done proper research if you just used the projects. You are welcome to be curious, but with such a comment you are the presumptuous one. Note that I already remarked that Stefan's comment was not appropriate in style. b) your email client _is_ crappy, given the way you reply inline (I was mentioning crappy clients in my previous email). Socially speaking, in an Open Source community, not using a decent email client can look as bad as dressing very very wrong. I'm not so picky, but it does mean you're not a hacker. Note I'm not a developer of PyPy, and I don't claim being an expert, but I have some technical knowledge of its documentation about internals and of some literature, and some small experience with a Python implementation.
