Hi Brett,

If by any chance PyPy continues to be funded beyond 2006, we would definitely welcome you around :-) (If our funding model doesn't change, it might be difficult for us to give you money oversea, though... just asking, just in case, would you consider moving to a European university?)

That would be cool! I definitely would not mind working on PyPy. Unfortunately I would not consider changing universities; I really like it here.

PyPy contains several open language research areas that you mentioned: network-distributed language support, concurrent programming... and we even already have a Python -> JavaScript compiler :-) Making it useful is an open challange, though.

Well, if PyPy picked up the grants tab I would work on whatever you guys wanted that could be turned into a dissertation topic. =)
