Hi all, I took the liberty to forward here the following e-mail from Michele Simionato, as it contains interesting links.
----- Hi Armin! I much enjoyed your talks and I have posted my impressions about them on c.l.py. (http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/browse_frm/thread/72446ebe0271f3cf/80aa801f642f1006?hl=en#80aa801f642f1006) As I told you in the conference, I think you should check in the Lisp/Scheme world where there is an astonishingly amount of knowledge about JIT and in general about compiling to C code fast. Relevant projects I know of are: - SBCL, a JIT compiler for Common Lisp; - Bigloo, a high performance Scheme->C compiler; - Chicken, another easy Scheme->C compiler. All these projects are free software and they are actually working products, not just experimental stuff. SBCL is mostly developed in the US I think (it is the successor to the Carnegie Mellon Common Lisp), Bigloo is developed in France by Manuel Serrano whereas Chicken is developed in Germany by Felix Winkelman. I am an user of Chicken and I think Felix is a extremely nice and helpful guy. Here are a few links: http://sbcl.sourceforge.net/ http://www-sop.inria.fr/mimosa/fp/Bigloo/ http://www.call-with-current-continuation.org/ <cut end of mail> _______________________________________________ [email protected] http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/pypy-dev
