I'm extremely impressed by HippyVM's performance numbers: 2x faster than Facebook's HHVM! http://t.co/ct8RjkMnLd
Writing a stdlib is hard. Lots of old-fashioned computer science plus an interpreter which is still buggy!
Hit a nasty error with Python's mock refusing to compare with long iterables:
A Haskell project that compiles Python to x86 machine code via Common Lisp: https://github.com/haroldl/clip . That's either hilarious or brilliant.
The Mesa project was started in 1993 by Brian Paul, and he's still developing it! Really impressive!
