I was interested to see that Russell is scheduled to give a talk at Pycon
this month which I imagine will be relevant to this list:

https://us.pycon.org/2017/schedule/presentation/410/

I won't be in the audience, but I'm looking forward to seeing the video
afterwards.

Meanwhile, I added VOC to the Python Implementations page of the Python Wiki,
though I'm not sure all that many people look at that page:

https://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonImplementations

My secondary, ulterior motive for doing so was to add my own Python-like
language to that page. ;-)

Hi David,

Yes, I?m presenting about the internals of VOC (which is how I?ve got Python running on Android). I?m also giving a tutorial on cross-platform app development (sold out, unfortunately for anyone hoping to join in), and hosting a booth on the conference floor. BeeWare contributor Katie McLaughlin is also presenting BeeWare-related content.

The BeeWare team will also be there for the full duration of the sprints if anyone is interested in getting involved or learning more.

Yours,
Russ Magee %-)

Good luck with those!

Related to the topic of transpilers, I found one project from the late 1990s
that converted Java bytecode to instructions for use on the Dis virtual
machine:

It's interesting that Android ended up using a similar approach around a
decade later.
