- plesn 16y agoI'm kind of not so surprised there are 19 olds in PyPy team. This is a project that requires idealism and enthousiasm: "let's build python in python, compile to everything possible, and make it faster than cpython". Contrast this to the more pragmatic approach of unladen swallow. I envy this guy even now!
- elblanco 16y agoSometimes it takes young people who don't know any better to do things that everybody else regards as too hard or impossible. "let's build python in python, compile to everything possible, and make it faster than cpython" are all examples of that.
- kiba 16y agoI am a dimmed witted 19 years old compared to this guy. :( I wish I spend my childhood learning programming and all sort of cool stuff.
- nostrademons 16y agoHe's definitely working on cooler projects than I was when I was 19, but I dunno if he's more productive. When I was 19, we took a dot-com from conception to launch in 1.5 months, lost our funding and shut it down 2 months later, then I got folded into the parent company (a VC-funded startup) for the remainder of the year and went through about 4 different business plans. It's the 10 years since then (and particularly what I did - or rather didn't do - in college) that makes me depressed. :-/
