I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.
a VM needs a separate backend for each architecture (maybe even OS) - which architectures do you include into your proposal? what's your estimate for a new port? - do you plan for a fall-back to a slow non-VM mode, e.g. the existing one? Do you plan to support that in parallel such that Python still can be used on architectures with a working compiler (and a libffi port). E.g. OpenJDK has the zero port, which is slow (interpreted), but runs on practically all architectures. Thanks, Matthias
