Hi Folks, I stumbled across a Slashdot story this morning titled "Super-Fast Python Implementation for .NET and Mono". With the Pie-thon just a couple of months away, I thought that this might be of interest (at least to Dan :).
http://developers.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/05/19/0128203&mode=nested&tid=109&tid=126&tid=156&tid=187 After reading the PyCON paper I'm not sure if this is a glowing endorsement for .NET or if it simply shows that the C implementation of the Python interpreter needs some optimization work. I was hoping that there might be some optimizations tricks in the source that could be applied to Parrot but no code has been released. May it's worth someone trying to get in touch with the author? -J Ps. The project website says there will be a talk at OSCON. --
