"I think that the talk was well received: the only drawback is that there was no time to answer questions at the end of the presentation. However, we received a lot of "offline" questions after the talk finished and thorough the whole conference: it is always great to see that people are interested in our work, and I'd like to thank everybody for the feedback that they gave to us."
"PyPy was also mentioned in the interesting Mark Shannon's talk, where he compared the optimization techniques used by PyPy, Unladen Swallow and HotPy, which is Mark's own PhD project. Moreover, Henrik Vendelbo gave a talk about how to tweak PyPy to produce a standalone executable which embeds a whole python application to make deployment easier, while Andrew Francis explained his implementation of the Go select statement based on the stackless.py module implemented in PyPy."
PyPy showcased project progress, covering features in releases 1.2 and 1.3 and a Django Mandelbrot demo that outperformed CPython. The presentation included an introduction to JIT ideas and an explanation of the cpyext module enabling compilation and loading of existing CPython C extensions. Time constraints prevented questions after the talk, but many offline questions and feedback followed. PyPy received comparisons in a talk on optimization techniques alongside Unladen Swallow and HotPy. Talks demonstrated packaging into standalone executables and implementing Go's select via stackless.py. Developers and attendees engaged in technical discussions throughout the conference, reflecting increased community interest in PyPy.
