Hi all,
i have a first draft of a
pypy/doc/new-architecture.txt
I've used a new file so that one can easier check back with
the old one, and also because architecture.txt is an often
visited web link.
I tried to implement the following intentions:
* separate cleanly between mission/goals and
architecture description
* keep status information mostly out (particularly
of the mission statement and goals)
* Talk about PyPy as two things, the translation
framework and the Python Interpreter.
* clarify terminology, particulary trying to
use terms so that it becomes more obvious
that PyPy can be used for implementing other
dynamic languages, i.e. cannot only be used to
implement Python Interpreters (although the latter is
a major goal and also helps the translation framework
with its architecture)
If we'd like to provide status information we should
do that in a different section or document, i think.
Well, and I am sure it still has lots of room for
fixing, improvement and refinement, please hack away
and/or tell me what you think :)
best,
holger
