---- pypy 3000 ---- +++ single language specification written in (R)Python ++ equally runs on/translates to C, .NET and Java platforms + and squeak/smalltalk - and common lisp :) + includes JIT compiler for C ... - ... and for javascript/Internet Explorer + currently pypy gets faster 4 times each year ... - clearly means: will be 200 times faster than CPython 3000! + write and test AJAX apps in python, translate to Javascript - or simply have pygame run and translated into browsers - select python 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 3000 ... (syntax) features per module + transparent distribution of objects/execution across machines + data tagging security models - sandbox security models - transparent persistence ++ logic variables / prolog like features ++ coroutines / greenlets / tasklets + "build your own PyPy" ++ lazy types/computations + runtime modifiable syntax (or better not? :) -- FPGA backend (python programs translated to hardware) + secret goal: run Bub'n'Bros on every possible platform ++ summer of pypy: if you are a student and want it to happen: contact us!
