2. PyPy:

   The PyPy project aims at producing a flexible and fast Python implementation. The guiding idea is to translate a Python-level description of the Python language itself to lower level languages.

3. Pyro - About:

   Pyro is short for PYthon Remote Objects. It is an advanced and powerful Distributed Object Technology system written entirely in Python, that is designed to be very easy to use. Never worry about writing network communication code again, when using Pyro you just write your Python objects like you would normally. With only a few lines of extra code, Pyro takes care of the network communication between your objects once you split them over different machines on the network. All the gory socket programming details are taken care of, you just call a method on a remote object as if it were a local object!

Q&A with Matz

Here's a partial transcript of a Q&A with Matz at RubyConf, via Chris.

Q: Did you start Ruby to scratch a particular itch? A: "No. The only problem I wanted to solve was to fill my spare time. It was during the depression time in Japan, and I had a job, but no assignment, and I was bored, so I started Ruby."

A painter paints, and a programmer...

Also, he recommends checking out Steve Dekorte's language IO and Haskell.

Here's a weblog with much more info on RubyConf, including audio for the presentations.

Update: More on RubyConf, via Chris.
