I'm certainly not going to argue against that, I just don't find the
coding contortions used on sites like spoj.pl for performance gains to
be anything approximating real world code. I will happily sacrifice
weird performance trickery for language consistency or performance
stability any day.

But at the same time, I read every single article on PyPy's ongoing
development that I can :)
