 PyPy
-   An implementation of Python written in Python; even the bytecode interpreter is
-   written in Python.  This is executed using CPython as the underlying
-   interpreter.  One of the goals of the project is to encourage experimentation
-   with the language itself by making it easier to modify the interpreter (since it
