I'm not sure I'd call it a failure. It didn't achieve the speedup they hoped for, but they did successfully get CPython running overtop of LLVM. That is, their intended approach didn't pan out, but they successfully implemented their approach. And just as importantly, Pypy was looking like it'd take some years more to make it useful in production, and would likely never be able to run C extension modules - but now we know now that neither of these is true.

They, a volunteer bunch, beat google! And that's something to be proud of, I'd think. Cheers, Daniel -- Psss, psss, put it down! - http://www.cafepress.com/putitdown
