Congratulation to You and Your team!

PyPy is really awesome and if it succeeds in speed demands after the
translation phase I believe that the project will shift the power
within the Python community on the long run. There are moments I'm
almost shocked about it and think about the fate of other programming
programming languages like LISP. PyPy can be resolved to "Python in
Python" but also "Python multiplied/powered by itself" which is much
more triumphant. A short review of the 'thunks' objspace example gives
me the impression that the language development process as we know it
comes to an end and makes a kind of transition. This is both very
exciting and dangerous, like every philosophical event.
