While I still think it a bit unfair, the exact quote is "...but to a first approximation, no one is using it". So I think (assuming fijal's numbers of 0.5-1% are roughly correct) it is not completely unreasonable to say that PyPy adoption is very limited to date, which was the point of what he was saying (although I think it could have been said more diplomatically).

Yes, some people wondered if PyPy is "the future of Python" - but it didn't take over the Python ecosystem. If the initiatives mentioned in the article will yield a 100%-CPython-compatible implementation that is always faster and doesn't have big warmup slowdown, it could be "future of Python".

I've been testing it Gtk stuff each release for a while now, it seems really close to working with the things I need (CPython libs). About 3 years ago, I couldn't have guessed it would come that far + this is as a fan/lurker of their mailing list :)
