I'm certainly not going to argue against that, I just don't find the coding contortions used on sites like spoj.pl for performance gains to be anything approximating real world code. I will happily sacrifice weird performance trickery for language consistency or performance stability any day. But at the same time, I read every single article on PyPy's ongoing development that I can :) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
