LOL, thought the same
fox91··on Webshell.io: the shell for scripting and combining APIs in Javascript
Ok, but why should I use your service instead of writing JavaScript in Vim? Apart from the fact of seeing the output more or less on the fly the result is the same (but I'll never abandon my editor for that).

What do you mean by "to sandbox API workflow"?

Why should I get a script from your server in my production application instead of serving it myself? It's one dependency more.

The only real value i see is the fact of having a library that gives me some syntactic sugar to query third party apis (like twitter, foursquare, gmaps, ...) but for that I would need only a very little part of your service, and maybe I'd prefer an open source solution.

fox91··on Why hasn't PyPy been merged into the Python trunk?
Not true. It supports CPython C modules since 2010 http://morepypy.blogspot.it/2010/04/using-cpython-extension-... The problem is CPyExt is not so fast and works only if PyPy implements the required functions used by the C module

Jokin? Have you ever tried the PyPy interpreter? It's almost the same as the CPython one! And gives you a nice quotation at every startup :P
fox91··on Guido van Rossum's Performance tips for Python
Be aware, a lot of Python tips for improving performance are releated to the Python implementation you're using.

We should remark a clear distinction between Python tips and CPython tips. In PyPy or other implementations some tips does just not make sense and are useless (e.g.: local scope stuff vs. outer scope stuff in loops).
