On: Space Monkey dumps Python for Go

[lvh]

Did you ever get a chance to evaluate what it does under PyPy? In my experience, there's quite a few such cases where it eliminates most of the overhead, and it's not even uncommon to see it generate what appears to be optimal x86_64.

No, we really wanted to use PyPy, but if we couldn't get it to work on ARMv5 it was of no use to us :(

Why wouldn't PyPy work on ARMv5? I think PyPy folks would be happy to do ARMv5 port for a reasonable price.

Yeah, heh, Glyph pointed out the same thing. https://twitter.com/glyph/status/458758471505035265

Hindsight is 20/20 I guess.

I have my doubts that that would have solved all of our problems though, but that's certainly a different path we could have taken.
