10 years of PyPy
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."
