i just had a (probably) silly idea. :) if some people like rpython so much, how about writing a rpython interpreter in rpython? wouldn't it be much easier for the jit to optimize rpython code? couldn't jitted rpython code theoretically be as fast as a program that got compiled to c from rpython?
hm... but i wonder if this would make sense at all. maybe if you ran rpython code with pypy-c-jit, it already could be jitted as well as with a special rpython interpreter? ...if there were a special rpython interpreter, would the current jit generator have to be changed to take advantage of the more simple language? just curious...
