Hi PyPy-dev, I remember there was some work on getting PyPy on JVM... is that still possible? Can someone point me on how to do it? Thank you, Fabio

Sorry, we dropped support for that due to general lack of interest. It was theoretically possible since long ago, but unfinished. No-one ever did more than realize (again and again) that it was going to be more work than they originally thought, notably to integrate the Python side and the Java side a la Jython. Then there would have been quite a lot of additional work to make the JIT work there. So we dropped "ootype" support. This did (and still does) let us simplify large parts of RPython. A bientôt, Armin.
