[pypy-dev] Question on the future of RPython

[Saravanan Shanmugham]

Lets not be a little presumptious shall we.
This is the second time you seem to be claiming that I haven't done my 
research/reading.

I have been following the progress of PyPy over 2 years. Its great work. So is 
Shedskin.
Just for the record, I have used PyRex, Cython.
And have read the documentation and/or sample code for both Shedskin and PyPy

If people say that there are emotional and pragmatic reasons for the 2 projects 
not coming together. 
That makes sense.

I just don't see any logical reasons, thats all. And I haven't heard any on this 
thread either.

BTW, Just because I top post for "readability" doesn't mean I haven't read all 
the threads in detail.

You should seriously read and try to understand the e-mails that you reply 
to, instead of top-posting them away.
