Don't forget that I've proven that I can
change truth, and I'm in the group from
the beginning (actually I caused it to begin).

I am very convinced that this project is able
to lead to a Python implementation that has
a smaller code base with a minimum of C code,
and that runs faster than CPython.
And it will be Stackless by nature.
I don't claim that this will be the result of
a single sprint. But this is my goal.
