Great :-)

PyPy 1.9 is not current any more: PyPy 2.0 beta1 is :-)  Also, the
danger in this kind of talk is in people confusing the two aspects of
PyPy.  They get from the talk "PyPy is a JIT compiler for RPython" or
some similar amalgam.  You should avoid mixing slides about RPython
and the slide "using the JIT'd interpreter", but separate them more
clearly, with a "First part" and "Second part" separation slides, for
example, and insisting a bit more on the part "the second part is a
PyPy that is almost a drop-in replacement for CPython", to
differentiate it from RPython.


A bientôt,

Armin.
