[pypy-dev] Summer of PyPy pre-proposal

[Lenard Lindstrom]

Hi Armin,

I must be missing something here. Isn't Python's object model defined 
by the type objects themselves?  So implement a javascript prototype 
type. Create the necessary javascript root objects and import them 
into the __builtin__ namespace or something. I would expect any 
serious problems would involve identifier scope or exception 
handling, language qualities very much tied to the bytecode 
interpreter framework.
