Indeed, the subject is absolutely on-topic. If can't talk about a so called "Dynamic Languages Runtime" in a pyhton mailing list, I wonder what it takes to be considered on-topic. Frankly, this on-topic/off-topic fascism I see in this list is pissing me off a little bit. I suggest reading this paragraph right from http://www.python.org/community/lists/: "Pretty much anything Python-related is fair game for discussion, and the group is even fairly tolerant of off-topic digressions; there have been entertaining discussions of topics such as floating point, good software design, and other programming languages such as Lisp and Forth."
