Hey, don't get me wrong, it's great that you're making strides, and I still hope the project is a success.
My viewpoint comes as someone who was very excited initially at the thought of a drop-in replacement for CPython whose goal was to be "faster than c". It's been a very long time and it seems like pypy still has a long way to go to achieve production-readiness, so it's hard to continue being excited about the project.
