One or the other, yes.

No.  As far as I know the basic library is still in development.  It's
just that I have somehow a feeling that the current speed at which
numpypy progresses is rather slow, and it has a huge existing code
base of expectations as well as messy backward-compatibility
requirements.  If we could instead throw that away and attach our
wagon to the newer development, even if it takes another couple of
years before it becomes usable, then it seems like a long-term win to
me.  Also, a cffi or cppyy version seems easier than a RPython version
for third-party contributors to help maintain, too.


A bientôt,

Armin.
