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 :-)

- Main goals
+Main goals
- 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 approach
+The approach
- 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.

- Concrete results
+Concrete results
- 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.
