Since this is a PyPy bashing thread, maybe it's an appropriate place to suggest that the project has got a little bit waylaid by exploring cool things instead of releasing a useful final result?
I am not questioning rpython directly - the case for something like that is obvious. But there's a question of balance. It's possible to go on building ever more complex systems which are theoretically justified, but which postpone ever finishing the job. At some point there has to be a "good enough". To some extent I am playing devil's advocate here, but as an outside who looked at PyPy a while back, my uninformed and naive impression was that the project was suffering from the kid of issues I have caricatured above.... Andrew PS I guess you are aware of worse is better etc? I think this may also be a US/Euro culture issue... -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
