10 years of PyPy
[Posted February 28, 2013 by corbet]
The PyPy project, which is working toward the creation of a
highly-optimized interpreter for the Python language, is
celebrating
its tenth anniversary. "
To make it more likely to be accepted,
the proposal for the EU project contained basically every feature under the
sun a language could have. This proved to be annoying, because we had to
actually implement all that stuff. Then we had to do a cleanup sprint where
we deleted 30% of codebase and 70% of features."
