There was an announcement a few weeks back about their Python JIT VM that they're developing, which is currently only for Windows but they say they're planning for other operating systems as well: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/pythonengineering/2016/02/12/welcome/ https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/pythonengineering/2016/02/1... And also a few months ago they posted to the Django developers mailing list about developing MSSQL as a first-class database for Django: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/django-developers/FbBcUCzrSZo https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/django-developers/Fb... It seems pushing MSSQL for Linux is the next step. Meanwhile, I hope they can get things running ported to FreeBSD, since that's what I use for the server.
