Reviewers were Roel Wuyts, Unversité Libre de +Bruxelles and Aki Lumiaho, Ramboll, Finland. Present was also our +Project Officer, Charles McMillan. After 6 hours of presentations of +the various aspects of the project, it only took the reviewers a few +minutes to decide that the project was accepted, without any further +work being required. Professor Wuyts, who has dynamic programming +languages as his main field of research was very enthusiastic about +the entire project and the results with the Just In Time Compiler +Generator in particular. He offered his help in establishing +collaborations with the communities around Prolog, Smalltalk, Lisp and +other dynamic languages, as well as giving hints on how to get our +results most widely pubicized. + +The preparations for the review left the team rather exhausted so +development progress will be rather slow until the sprint at +Europython in the second week of July. + PyPy EU funding period over, Review ahead -----------------------------------------------------
