I've been reading up on pypy and is really interested in the idea of implementing X language interpreters in pypy, where X can be any known programming language.
In general, the more interesting languages to try to implement with PyPy are dynamic languages. Of course it's possible, and maybe even nice, to write an interpreter for Pascal. It's just that there is a bias towards dynamic languages, both in what RPython supports and in what the translation toolchain can do with it. Well, you can always try to build a dynamically extensible Pascal environment with automatic memory management :-) Which reminds me to mention that a Smalltalk environment would be a nice project in PyPy.
