New Revision: 1916

Modified:
   pypy/trunk/doc/funding/abstract.asc
Log:
modified the last line of the abstract to claim
that platform/research will be applicable to other
vhll. 

got the number of characters down to 1967 by refactoring
the indentation :-)

-    The project will research and implement a flexible, configurable and
-    performant version of Python, a popular Free/Open Source programming language. 
-    Much anecdotal, and some empirical, evidence suggests that Python is one 
-    of the easiest programming languages to learn and is one of the languages 
-    in which one can code up a given algorithm the fastest.  The project
-    aims to bring this highly productive language to a wider range of 
-    platforms and devices by providing simple means to build a highly
-    customized language version.

-    The project will achieve its goals principally by leveraging excellent 
-    research and the strengths of Open Source developer communities. 
-    In particular, it will explore and refine Sprint Driven Development, 
-    an agile rapid development method pioneered by Python communities in 
-    Europe.  Sprints accelerate an already productive open development 
-    process by intensifying communication and feedback cycles for programmers 
-    and researchers. This process will also involve an existing non-profit 
-    organisation of Python firms to bind business communities into research
-    and implementation of a unique runtime environment.  Technically, the project 
-    will refine and implement innovative approaches to language implementation,
-    based on object spaces and abstract interpretation.

-    The new Python will maintain the semantics of the current implementation 
-    but will be  more portable, more easily customised and extended, more 
-    efficient, and it will cover more programming paradigms in a way that 
-    respects the simplicity of the underlying language. In addition, the 
-    project will document and refine existing open source development models 
-    in the Python community. Although targetted principally at Python, most 
-    of the research results will be applicable to other high level languages.
