Just take a look at the response you get to posts involving numbers, benchmarks, etc. (BTW, keep linking to the funding post) :)<br /><br />A series of short posts discussing hot topics would be a sure way to keep Pypy around the news until the release, so you get as much feedback as possible.<br /><br />Suggestions:<br /><br /> - Possible factors in slower results (discuss points in the <a href="http://morepypy.blogspot.com/2009/11/some-benchmarking.html" rel="nofollow">Some Benchmarking</a> post);<br /><br /> - One-of comparisons to different CPython versions, Unladen Swallow, ShedSkin, [C|J|IronP]ython (revisit old benchmarks posts?);<br /><br /> - Mention oprofile and the need for better profiling tools in blog, so you can crowdsource a review of options;<br /><br /> - Ping the <a href="http://www.phoronix-test-suite.com/" rel="nofollow">Phoronix Test Suite</a> folks to include Pypy translation (or even these benchmarks) in their tests: Python is an important part of Linux distros;<br /><br /> - Don't be afraid to post <a href="http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/asa/archives/2009/12/firefox_35_is_the_mo.html" rel="nofollow">press-quotable numbers and pics</a>, blurbs about what Pypy is and how much it's been improving, etc. Mention unrelated features of the interpreter (sandboxable!), the framework (free JIT for other languages), whatever;<br /><br /> - The benchmark platform (code, hardware, plans for new features).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3971202189709462152.post-78446809771492905952010-01-25T22:04:55.761+01:002010-01-25T22:04:55.761+01:00Hey.

We don't build nightly unladen swallow and we don't want to run it against some older version, because they're improving constantly.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />fijalMaciej Fijalkowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11410841070239382771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3971202189709462152.post-23483549486892208132010-01-25T21:18:54.133+01:002010-01-25T21:18:54.133+01:00This is cool.
