PyPy is not primarily - at least not only - about making
Python faster although many people like to view it this way :-)
This correction is a bit confusing... It is not surprising that people
view "a faster Python" as a primary goal of your project, as that's the
message that's been spread repeatedly by you all over the years:
I think you misunderstand Holger. Making Python faster is _a_ goal with Pypy,
but it is not _the_ goal. The most important goals, as I see it are to
produce something that is flexible and which has a clear implementation.
However, this becomes an academic exercise if we produce something that is
slower than competing implementations of Python. We want to build something
that produces actual benefits in real world applications.
That's the point. Not prioritizing speed is fine, but it
does not allow us to be remarkably slower. Being of competitive
speed and then more flexible is a must. If we are slower, the
market will not consider us at all.
