PyPy 2.5.0 released
Congrats to the PyPy team on what sounds like a pretty big release!<p>Something in the release notes caught my eye:<p>> The past months have seen pypy mature and grow, as rpython becomes the goto solution for writing fast dynamic language interpreters.<p>I asked this question[1] on the Perl 6 thread from a few days ago but didn't get an answer. Does anyone know why on earth the Perl 6 folks created yet another dynamic language VM+JIT with MoarVM instead of taking advantage of all the great work done with PyPy? Does anyone know whether PyPy was even considered as a target before writing MoarVM?<p>[1] <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8982229" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8982229</a>
