Why not SqueeSquee?
We discussed this option yesterday. Its first step would be to define a subset of Smalltalk in the same way it is done with RPython (reduced Python). Let's call this RSqueak. Then, one would implement a new front end for the PyPy tool chain, based on RSqueak and written in Smalltalk. Like that we could feed the chain from Smalltalk, and later start to build our own VM generation tool chain in Smalltalk.
oh, I was not suggesting to reuse the entire PyPy tool chain, but rather to reuse the ideas that have become manifest in it. I also don't think that RSqueak will be absolutely necessary, given that Pepsi could be the target.
Nevertheless, good luck for the sprint!
Best,
Michael
