I've looked around intermittently for something Clojure-esque to fill the scripting/sysadmin void and Pixie is the only thing I've come across which inspires hope. The only remaining issue for me is whether it can tap into existing (Python) libraries as that's what tends to swing the vote for scripting languages. With more languages fragmenting the landscape building a community and sizeable selection of libraries is that much harder but I hope Pixie rises above the legions of Lisp-in-language-X exercises one finds on Hacker News by the dozen.

Yes, I when we finally get around to doing binary releases I plan on
shipping x86_64, x86 and ARM7 binaries, as those are the platforms I
have access to.

The other thing that would hinder adoption to other platforms is most
likely the stacklet library (lightweight threads), Pixie uses this
fairly heavily and it would probably need to be ported to PPC.

And yes there is a LuaJIT version of Clojure with support for Terra:
https://github.com/ohpauleez/cljs-terra

Doesn't look like it's been maintained recently however.

    Tim,

    I went with what I saw on http://pypy.org/features.html "... runs on
    Intel x86 (IA-32) , x86_64 and ARM platforms, with PPC being stalled
    ...". Not sure if that's just for the JIT, but if it were, they
    would list non-JIT platforms separately, no?

    I'm aware, that you use RPython directly, but you still reuse a lot
    of RPython from PyPy, right? Has pixie been tested on any non-x86
    platform yet?
