Hi,
I am Raffael Tfirst, currently working on PyPy 3.5 for the Google Summer of Code.
Since it might be of interest to some, I want to give you a short summary of what I do.
The Python 3.5 features I implement in PyPy are the @ operator for matrix multiplications (PEP 465), additional unpacking generalizations (PEP 448) and coroutines with async and await syntax (PEP 492). A short description of each feature can be found here (at New Syntax Features): https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.5.html
It would be cool to have those features implemented in PyPy because they will most likely be used a lot in future Python 3.5 programs, that is why I want to close this gap and push PyPy a bit closer to Python 3.5 functionality.
I started working on this about a month ago. As things stand now, the @ operator already works. The additional unpacking feature will be ready soon, too, since a great part is already implemented. There's just some nasty errors I need to fix before it can be tested.
In about two weeks progress will speed up a lot, because then I'm going to have way more time for this project.
For those who are interested, I work on the py3.5 branch.
