 :Abstract: We present PyPy's analysis and compilation toolchain,
            which is used to translate RPython programs like PyPy's
            standard interpreter into stand-alone efficient
-           executables.  Modern dynamic languages pose difficulties
-           to program analysis; we will debate them and motivate our
-           basic approach.  We give an extended theoretical description
-           of our toolchain and its rather complicated design.  This
-           design is justified by our flexibility goals: we can target
-           a wide range of run-time platforms, inserting the necessary
+           executables.

+           range of run-time platforms, inserting the necessary
            low-level details (e.g. memory management) as part of the
            translation process; and for each target we can experiment
            with a number of additional translation aspects like
