>it was designed to address a lot of the problems with running C++ or Python in that environment. Where have you heard/read the part about Python? Not saying you're wrong, just haven't heard of it. I had heard about the C++ part. I know of some general issues (e.g. static typing, perf), of course, but interested to know which ones Google had (with Python). Edit: The issues I've read about with C++ at Google (in Rob Pike's article) were, IIRC, C++'s complexity and long build times, even with distributed builds.
