IHMO, PyPy isn't a strong counter-argument for Python's slowness. Yes, PyPy is probably faster than CPython. But what then? In most cases, CPython is THE PYTHON. PyPy is still in its early age and has a lot to demonstrate itself as a serious alternative to CPython. On the other hand, programmer could get out-of-box performance boost from adapting Go without worrying the potential compatibility issues. PyPy is a very interesting and promising project. I highly respect that. I just don't like the idea of merely using it to dodge the blame of performance slowness, when what people are really talking about is CPython.
