Hey list, I'd like to announce that I will attempt to implement an optimization technique in PyPy as part of my thesis for my CS diplomma. In addition to the local advisor from my uni, Carl Friedrich Bolz (@cfbolz) accepted to "mentor" me for the attempt. I'll be reporting the progress frequently here (so you will hear soon more details) and of course I'll also be availabe on the IRC channel, which I'll also use for the daily communication with Carl and for any other questions or problems I may have with the codebase. The optimization is based on the paper "Partial Escape Analysis and Scalar Replacement on Java" by L. Stadler, T. Würthinger and H. Mössenböck. Feel free to add any comments, remarks, ideas, etc. Have a good day. Cheers, George -- George 'papanikge' Papanikolaou
