Can someone post simple instructions on how to use PyPy to compile python to native code? I remember being shown how to do this, but could not figure it out after going over the documentation several times.

I'm glad a language other than Lisp can finally eat it's own tail.

I enjoy Lisp chauvinism as much as anyone but come on.

  Self-hosting languages include Lisp, Forth, Pascal, C,
  Modula-2, Oberon, Smalltalk, OCaml, FASM, Python, Scala,
  Haskell and BASIC.

http://live.gnome.org/Vala http://www.freebasic.net/index.php

Apparently Mono is self hosting (i.e. the compiler is written in C#), and I'm sure there's many other examples.

Or maybe I missed a joke you were making...

I'm incredibly impressed that you didn't immediately close the page after seeing that pun.
