So it's more like a childhood dish kinda thing, just refuse to let it go completely although I do agree with you that a Pascal compiler written in Python will be more comprehensible than one written in C or Pascal. And it may just seems oxymoronic to think about implementing a C compiler in PyPy.
My current langauge kit is Python/C/Java/R/SQL/UML. So I presume there's a bit more interest in R than in pascal and implementing a R interpreter in python will reduce the need for RPy in many cases (I think). Otherwise, I may go on a total tangent and try working on modeling/simulation languages like Modelica/SBML combination or even a UML simulator in RPython, which may be more useful to my future employment. So yes, I'm kinda polling interests here... Any suggestions? Thanks Cheers maurice _______________________________________________ [email protected] http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/pypy-dev
