As most of you know there's constant struggle on the JavaScript front to get even faster performance out of interpreters. V8, TraceMonkey and SquirrelFish have brought novel ideas to interpreter design, wouldn't it make sense to reap the best bits and bring them to Python?

Has anyone delved into the designs and considered their applicability to Python?

Hi Mart,

This is a better discussion for the python-ideas list. That being said, there was a thread discussing this last year, see:

I am sure this will be included as a part of the discussion at the VM summit that's taking place as a part of the pre-PyCon activity. regards Steve -- Steve Holden +1 571 484 6266 +1 800 494 3119 Holden Web LLC http://www.holdenweb.com/
