Awesome, I hadn't realized this project was quite this far along. If they get PyPy 3.4/3.5 going with NumPy, it will make a really nice package. Fast Python code for the high-level logic, paired with fast low-level number crunching. This could also help speed up the adoption of Python 3.

Looks like they're over 80% of the way to hitting the funding goal for that one too:

The problem is: even if numpy gets ported we still don't have scipy and a million other packages which require C bindings.

True. Though this will likely make PyPy more mainstream, and thus it'll hopefully attain more community support.
