What was the original goal of PyPy, and have they delivered on it?
- sanxiyn 11y agoThe original goal, if there was one, was Python implementation implemented in Python. This goal is achieved.
- toyg 11y agoThe original goal was to implement a runtime that could run multiple languages, similar to Perl's Parrot project, but targeting Python and written in what was basically a subset of python. It so happened that the resulting implementation ended up being very fast in some situations, the commercial world adopted it, and the project basically pivoted to being "the fast python runtime".
