+RPython
+=======
+
+RPython is a translation and support framework for producing implementations of
+dynamic languages, emphasizing a clean separation between language
+specification and implementation aspects.
+
+By separating concerns in this way, our implementation of Python - and other
+dynamic languages - is able to automatically generate a Just-in-Time compiler
+for any dynamic language.  It also allows a mix-and-match approach to
+implementation decisions, including many that have historically been outside of
+a user's control, such as target platform, memory and threading models, garbage
+collection strategies, and optimizations applied, including whether or not to
+have a JIT in the first place.
