You can't get something for nothing, though -- that "inherently concurrent" back-end representation will have to deal with all the same issues one way or another.
Right, but since you can write PyPy "C" extensions in RPython, the part you actually get for "free" is that PyPy extensions don't need to be written so as to take concurrency into account. Those bits can be delegated to the "object space", in PyPy terms.
