It's also interesting to read the comments on Reddit:

http://programming.reddit.com/info/60jlu/comments/

It's just a couple of comments, and the first one is quite positive, but 
it also shows some of the perceptions this project has around the net as 
not being very practical:

"Good to see PyPy getting some air time. For language implementation 
enthusiasts, it's truly worth looking into; their on-the-fly partial 
evaluation is a significant step, both conceptually and practically, 
beyond the techniques pioneered by SELF. I'm losing hope that it'll ever 
be much more than a research project, though, in spite of how far it's 
gotten. Hopefully I'll be proven wrong!"

And the response:

"Indeed I would like to know if we can expect anything that we can use 
outside of pypy any time soon."

More random comments of course, but I'll use them gladly to support the 
point I'm trying to make. :)

Regards,

Martijn
