- Kaval Wireless Technologies Inc. uses Python in a variety of ways in the development and production of its wireless coverage extension systems, as well as using it in some of the products themselves. The PyPy project holds great promise for improving the performance and cross-platform nature of the Python environment, and I look forward to seeing those improvements occur. Peter Hansen, P.Eng. Director, Software Engineering, Kaval Wireless Technologies Inc. - I'm interested in PyPy because it's about Python, the pragmatic language that I use for my business and make my living with, and because it promises pragmatic benefits (performance is my personal #1, but there is a lot of other potential). Martijn Faassen, Infrae Netherlands - I am one of the main developers of the open source Twisted networking framework, which is used by organizations ranging from NASA and California state agencies to individuals and companies in the US, Italy, Sweden, France and the Netherlands. I would like to see PyPy succeed as the result would be a platform that is far superior to competing software platforms, while still being open and not tied to the fortunes of one or two American corporations. Itamar Shtull-Trauring Chief Technology Architect, Zoteca - I'm an independent software developer and consultant. My current focus is the development of design tools, code generators, and monitoring tools for embedded, distributed, real-time systems (often applied in safety-critical domains). I have been using Python with great success for these application domains. A successful PyPy would increase the benefits of using Python: - it would allow me to even more functionality into Python and further reduce the amount of C code needed for the on-line part of such systems (which is running on PC-class HW). - it might allow to replace (some but not nearly all) C code in the embedded parts of such systems. - it might substantially improve the performance of the design tools and code generators. Christian Tanzer - As a vendor of development tools for Python programmers, we support PyPy as an important step towards advancing the technology behind Python programming language Stephan Deibel, CEO Archaeopteryx Software, Inc.
