I just don't understand the relationship with metaclasses. What's so
head-exploding about them btw ? They need some thinking for sure ...

AFAIK PyPy is not that complicated (I'm working on it btw), it only
lacks some documentation currently. It's quite easy to add some
features right now (hint : hooks for constraint & logic programming
for instance) that I suspect would be no-go with CPython.
