Hi Timothy, I'm new in the list and I was very recently planning to do a pet project in implementing a clojure interpreter in Rpython. Of course, I share the same concerns as you about the standard library issue (although your body of work on the issue gives you a much better understanding of all the concerns, which at the moment I can only guess), so I was planning as starting with a very simple dummy interpreter and then build on top of that more features as time and skill allow. I will try to check your clojure implementation this weekend. Hopefully I will manage to do something useful :)
A more generally targeted question, besides the sample rpython tutorial for brainfuck, what are the recommended readings (parts of the pypy code, papers, etc), tools and/or magic for working at rpython on an interpreter? I saw that there will be a sprint soon in Berlin (and it not being that far from Prague, if the dates allow, it might be possible for me to take some vacation days and assist). In regards to that, having only experience with python and almost none in interpreter writing, will my presence there be of any value? I can imagine that you must want to do a lot of work in such an event and that a newbie like me might not be the thing to have around. Thus, I would like to ask if with the readings that I ask in the previous paragraph there would be some easy task that I could work on to get acquainted with the software and assist another future sprint.
