I could not understand the PyPy intention in having another run-time. Can we see having PyPy running Python programs, 1. As a challenge? (A language can have its own runtime with little improved performance) or 2. Potential for future to replace/co-exists CPython forever with strong community s

PyPy outperforms C in a little benchmark capitalising on gcc's inability to optimise across files. http://morepypy.blogspot.com/2011/08/pypy-is-faster-than-c-again-string.html -- ~noufal http://nibrahim.net.in Of course I can keep secrets. It's the people I tell them to that can't keep them.
