This seems like the kind of thing that Apple themselves are in a good position to help with. Seems pretty improbable unfortunately.

- praptak 6y agoIt is, if someone else funds it. It's a commons dilemma of sorts.

- Hamuko 6y agoI imagine that PyPy is way too obscure for Apple to care about it. Amazon would probably care a lot more if they're planning on adopting more ARM in AWS.
- zelphirkalt 6y agoIn the Python community it is a pretty well known implementation.
- jjice 6y agoFor sure, but it's not used as much on user Arm machines compared to server applications, which Apple doesn't have much of a stake in ATM.
- pjmlp 6y agoUnfortunately no, JITs in other communities get much more love than PyPy does.
- vips7L 6y agoI was under the impression that Apple doesn't really care for JIT compilers.
- pjmlp 6y agoThey do, in macOS and in what concerns iOS, JSCore. PyPy doesn't get much love from Python community overall, too focused on CPython + C, no matter on which platform. Hence why efforts like Julia and Chapel spring to life.
- saagarjha 6y agoThey ship multiple JITs, so I don’t really understand your comment.
- vips7L 6y agoThey don't allow anyone else to ship a JIT on iOS and you set special security settings in your app on macOS to ship one.
- yen223 6y agoI don't doubt that many Python people have heard of Pypy, but in my experience not many companies actually use Pypy in production
