[pypy-dev] Re: Funding

[Anders Lehmann]

I forgot to introduce myself.

My name is Anders Lehmann, and I am a Pythonist. I ahve been using Python
for fun (and a little profit) for the last three years.

My interest  in PyPy is in order to address the two problems I have when
trying to convince people to use Python.

The first one is speed. Even if I do the traditional Python Speed Dance (use
the development time saved by using Python to do optimizations), I often
feel that I am using a unsupported claim to cover a weakness ( ie it feels
like I am making an excuse ).

The other one is footprint, in terms of program size, memory consumption and
the like. In my company we are mainly doing embedded programming. it is hard
to justify extra ram and rom/flash.

It is my hope that pypy will change that, and I think that my company could
benefit from that.

Allthough I have been lurking around on the newsgroups for three years, I am
pretty sure I wont be able contribute much to the solution on the hard
design parts of PyPy.

Thats why I am pushing for helping with the funding issue.

See you next week
