The problem with statements like this is that Python itself can't do anything, only members of the Python community can. But I do understand and agree with your main point. I'm hoping that the PyPy project will allow for more rapid experimentation with new JIT & VM techniques, with the more successful making their way into the CPython VM over time. The project isn't quite at the point yet, but they're still heading in that direction: http://morepypy.blogspot.com/2008/10/sprint-discussions-jit-generator.html Another project similar-ish to Pyjamas is HotRuby: http://hotruby.yukoba.jp/ However, it doesn't use the code-to-JS approach, rather it has implemented the Ruby VM (or a subset thereof) in JavaScript and runs Ruby bytecodes directly. Under Chrome, this results in a 16x increase over the Ruby 1.9 VM. It certainly looks like some interesting times are ahead for dynamic languages: http://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/2008/05/dynamic-languages-strike-back.html -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
