It's off topic, but not as there-and-hell-and-gone as a lot of the off topic posts here. I am trying to get the EU to fund my Python-In-Python Project. You can read all about it at http://www.codespeak.net/pypy We're going to do this anyway, but it would be nice to get this done for real in a stretch, rather than on our vacations like we are doing now, even if we get 6 weeks a year unlike you poor Americans with 2. But JIT is not new. Smalltalk did it, and then self did it. We are way more flexible, do type inference (only since last week!!! it works!!!) And we can redo our high level analysis on execution. We will (don't yet) refactor the generated code while interpreting the actual application. This might be thought as "just in time program analysis". Somebody got a sexy word to use to describe us? We need to say 'more than just a JIT' but we aren't so hot with words. Ideas? This has got to be more fun than picking fights with Jim Choate ... Laura
