Fellows Moreton & Clayton and the Canalhouse are both good friendly
venues. Just watch out for the sports nights and pub quizzes and other
groups!

We moved up to the Falcon at Canning Circus for a quieter venue with

Nope... (OK... Bad pun! :-) )

https://github.com/cosmo-ethz/hope

and another interesting one for gaining a speedup could be:
http://nuitka.net/pages/overview.html
... translates the Python into a C++ program that then uses "libpython"
to execute...

There's also PyPy that could be worth a look... But that's digressing :-)


OK... Anyone game to give a languages talk?! ;-)
