Some students from Unicamp and I are working to update the PowerPC branch.
The earlier effort stalled when the port encountered a garbage
collection corruption that neither I nor the PyPy core developers
could solve. Some additional GC debugging aids have since been added,
but by that time, I and
lack of interest. The PPC stuff is not as widely used as ARM or x86,
so core developers were not that interested.

Hello;
Does anyone have any insight as to why the support for Power PC processors has
stalled?
I'm specifically interested in knowing if it was technical hurdles or just lack
of interest. If technical, could someone please elaborate on what the issues
are?
Thanks,
