 business ventures.
 
+Furthermore, an important aspect of the current proposal is that we will
+make use of the new opportunities that the Object Spaces give us to extend
+the reach of the Python to areas where programmers currently have to resort
+to other languages. In particular, we will bring the Stackless version of
+Python into the mainstream. This allows Python to handle thousands of
+threads inexpensively, making simulation software easy to program. The
+makers of computer games have already shown interest in this, and have
+funded its early development. The Stackless Python implementation also
+supports mobility of running code, allowing it to migrate from one
+machine to another. Other programming areas addressed by the project by
+building on Object Spaces are Aspect Oriented Programming, Design by
+Contract, and Constraint Solving. All these will significantly increase the
+attractiveness of Python as a programming language, and we will work with
+people in the Python community ls who are interested in simulation, software
+engineering, and the semantic web to ensure that they can take full
+advantage of the new platform we are offering.
