[Video 223] Julian Berman: Building an interpreter in RPython

PyPy, an alternative implementation of Python, has been gaining attention and interest over the last few years, in no small part because of its high speed. PyPy has, at its core, a small language called RPython (“restricted Python”) in which PyPy is implemented. In theory, you can use RPython to implement other languages. In this talk, Julian Berman demonstrates how to build a small language using RPython. If you’re interested in PyPy or in how programming languages work, this talk should be of interest to you.
