It seems unlikely that just porting Portage to another language would |
| 11 |
yield a faster implementation soon. Instead, one should focus on |
| 12 |
identifying bottlenecks in Portage and look at ways to solve them. And |
| 13 |
if you really want a faster language implementation, maybe look into |
| 14 |
Unladen Sparrow (slated to be merged into Python 3.3) or PyPy. |

No. And I don't really think this question is very on-topic for gentoo-dev. |
