Hi everybody, firstly, this is just an email for personal interest and has nothing to do directly with development so this mailing list may not be quite the right place (I am going to hang around on #pypy...). I am a student and generally interested with the pypy development, especially with the rpython language, and I have some general questions:
What is your view on the new typing/mypy things that are happening on python-dev (pep 484)? What I mean is will this make the typing system of rpython evolve? Could RTyper be adapted to work on pep 484 annotations (would it actually be useful)? I read a bit of the paper about rpython listed on the docs and i had the feeling that your typing is a bit more low level. The quite different goals and contraints that the 2 type system have may explain that they look different, but could there be an interaction (in one way or another)? An other question that is related: it's maybe early to think about that but could it be reasonable to expect that pypy will better optimize pep-484-annotated python programs? The thrusting of these user annotations is indeed a problem, so a pypy option could specify that we want it to thrust the type annotations. It may then be worth just writing programs in rpython directly. These questions are quite hypothetical so I don't expect concrete answers, just thoughts! If someone wants to react to this or point me to other (theoretical) ressources about rpython... :) Bonsoir, Peio _______________________________________________ pypy-dev mailing list pypy-dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pypy-dev
