     long-term goals are to target a large variety of

+    Basically, we are implementing strategies to avoid writing
+    N x M x O interpreters for N dynamic languages, M platforms 
+    and O crucial design decisions (e.g. memory and threading 
+    models).  Moreover, hand-coding particular combinations can 
+    be hairy at best.  With PyPy, we aim to change any of these

     We are going to briefly describe the concepts of
     object spaces, abstract interpretation and translation
     aspects and how they led us to a first self-contained
