I would be glad to provide more detail on my suggestion. I don't which
part of it is "bogus", though.

I'm not suggesting another Python spin-off. We've seen enough already.

What I'm proposing has to do (but is not limited to) programming style:
- if you only use functions I guess you would like your work translated
into C
- if you only use single inheritance you probably would like to translate
it to Java
- if you want mulitple inheritance you go with C++ translation
- if you change objects at runtime by adding methods and attributes you
should probably stick with Python.

First sentence from the PyPy web page:

The PyPy project aims at producing a simple runtime-system for the Python language.

I was quite specific about runtime: I don't want it. Depending on your
programming style you might not need it.
