Google not supporting it in a big way is very strange. is there a political conflict between cpython and pypy ?
Because it seems to me that Pypy is the future of python. and it makes total sense for someone like Google or Dropbox to support it with a lot of money.
- fijal 11y agoIt makes sense != it makes money. Google does not support cpython either in any meaningful way (that is, someone hired full time to work on cpython for example).
- sandGorgon 11y agohuh ? https://www.python.org/~guido/ https://www.python.org/~guido/ In January 2013 I joined Dropbox. I work on various Dropbox products and have 50% for my Python work, no strings attached. http://www.linuxjournal.com/magazine/interview-guido-van-rossum http://www.linuxjournal.com/magazine/interview-guido-van-ros... I don't have a 20% project per se, but I have Google's agreement that I can spend 50% of my time on Python, with no strings attached, so I call this my “50% project”.
- dalke 11y agoDropbox isn't Google. I don't know if Google does or does not provide meaningful support to CPython development. Certainly it did, as you point out. But fijal's comment was about the present, not the past.
