Speakers: Maciej Fijalkowski, merlinux GmbH Title: PyPy - status and next goals Abstract: I'd like to present the status and next goals of the PyPy project: both a platform for implementing dynamic languages and a complete Python Interpreter written in a high level language. PyPy translates interpreters to C, .NET and the JVM. The talk will focus on what is new since the last RuPy conference. I am going to talk about speed and feature improvements, particularly our flexible garbage collection framework and the Just-in-time compiler generator. This generator is used to automatically turn our Python interpreter into a compiler for directly emitting assembler code. More about the PyPy project: http://codespeak.net/pypy/
