[pypy-dev] trsnslating pypy to another language besides C

[Armin Rigo]

Hi Joonas,

To make sense out of it, you would need an "ootype" backend, as
opposed to a "lltype" backend which generates C-like code.  Google for
Antonio's thesis "High performance implementation of Python for
CLI/.NET with JIT compiler generation for dynamic languages".  But we
killed support for ootype backends soon afterward, because (despite
the thesis) it was not really going anywhere in practice.  Nowadays
PyPy is only focusing on its C backend.  If you really want you can
dig in the Mercurial history.  Be warned that a lot of work is needed
in any case...


A bientôt,

Armin.
