What sort of problems did you run into? Did you submit bug reports? I don't think finding a bug in say V8 JIT will be easy to debug for example (or any advanced VM).

we have a php-fpm equivalent. It's not open source though.

did you post a bug report? do you have a way to reproduce it? did you check the newest pypy?

Did you consider PyPy? It kinda works and it kinda focuses effort on being a faster replacement.

4-way stop turn-taking is a problem that does not exist in europe btw

I guess you can but for some reason very few people do. Look at e.g. number of times browsers have security problems. Are those teams made out of idiots or is it genuinely hard?

gdb reversible mode is useless for anything other than a toy example. We never got to the point where you can e.g. start the PyPy process, not to mention do anything with it. We had much more luck with UndoDB, but this one is still ~20x s

I was tracking a few of my own submissions - I think it's random. IF you happen to arrive on the frontpage and stay there for a few minutes, a reasonable amount of people will vote that up. However, if you stay on the front page for

I wonder when will people realise that writing browsers in a language like C++ is not a good idea if you're semi-serious about security.

"The Programming Cloud is specifically focused around workflows and features that programmers are likely to want and need." - that sounds like an awful marketing speak to me. What do you actually MEAN?

er. "as long as you use CPython", yes. If you use PyPy (which you really should for such an example), there are no such restrictions.

Because (and that's a quote) "PyPy is unproven and experimental technology".

I think the way to the HN frontpage is completely random. PyPy 2.2 release (which features incremental GC and a bunch of cool stuff) was not newsworthy, a random, not very significant progress report is.

Please Please Please include "show the shortest path between points A and B".

We (PyPy developers) tried this and it's unusably slow. I don't know how they got that slow, but it takes a bit forever to execute 10mln instructions. We ended up using UndoDB gdb wrapper, which runs slower than they advertise (+-

"Misdemeanors are generally considered to be minor or trivial offenses." - did I understood correctly that fellonies are things that warrant >2y in prison? So everything non-trivial warrants >2y in prison. Please correct me

I for one would like to see a study that shows that people who read bible are more moral than people who don't read bible (or people who play video games). In my anecdotal evidence, there is no real correlation, but hey, science.

That does not make the "papers please" part disappear btw. Last time I checked, the queues were long anyway.

Most of their technology is incredibly secret (for obvious reasons). They won't even tell you they're using your open source project (they can give you money though). They're (on average) worse than your average tech shop. Bu

"faster than any non-JITted scripting language" <- why not JITted actually?

as mentioned on the PyPy blog, Raspberry Pi Foundation sponsored partly the ARM port as well as the incremental GC. The reason (as far as I understand) is that PyPy on RPI would provide a fast Python for development of various things, like

eh sorry, fair point. you can guess from the text that the best one is cpython, the two other are not that different anyway ;-)

supporting processor is one thing and supporting OS is another. PyPy runs fine for example on x86_64, but does not support windows 64 natively (although windows 32bit version works fine on windows 64). There was some work done to run it on

There is an architecture doc, but definitely there is no porting guide. I would start with sending a mail to pypy-dev or asking on IRC, but generally "get the tests running first, all of them" is a good start.

First, please stop spreading FUD. It does not take "a few hours", it takes ~30-40min. That's pretty bad, but not the end of the world. Second, you don't "just" try to build it - there is an extensive test suite

no, because you can't challenge "javascript is slow", since only apple is allowed to JIT it. If they do a bad job, there is noone else to help.

it's apple-approved javascript which does not have the same restrictions as normal stuff.

They're useless for you . It typically means someone posted a bug on the issue tracker and it got fixed. If you did not try PyPy before, you can't know if it affects you. If you did and there were bugs in cffi/ctypes, this i
