</div>Cesare, I'm really sorry that you became so disillusioned that you<br>
abandoned wordcode. I agree that we were too optimistic about Unladen<br>
Swallow. Also that the existence of PyPy and its PR machine (:-)<br>
should not stop us from improving CPython.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I never stopped thinking about new optimization.

I'm wondering if, with your experience in creating WPython, you could<br>
review Stefan Brunthaler's code and approach (once he's put it up for<br>
review) and possibly the two of you could even work on a joint<br>
project?<br>
