how isn't Google or Dropbox or Instagram not completely funding you

  I guess they aren't the ones that are using 3.7 anyway.

  Does Google use PyPy at all? I wasn't aware.

    maybe they could if they funded it to do what they need it to do

  The main way big corpos are sponsoring os is hiring the developers typically. That comes with a whole lot of things that some people don't want to deal with, like changing your place of residence

    Zurich or Munich shouldn't be too bad, isn't it?

      Why not Cape Town?

        I doubt that they allow you to work on a VM there. I saw only marketing and content jobs there. In Munich or Zurich they do have VM teams. Maciej is from Warsaw, he could do surfing in Munich. Armin Rigo is in Switzerland.

          I live in Cape Town where I can do surfing a bit better than in Munich ;-)

            Sure, also much cheaper. But Munich has no sharks, and the wave is much easier to catch, and it's easier to train 360's :) The Zurich wave is not that good.

  Google and Dropbox have been migrating from Python to Go to deal with Python's performance problems instead of trying to make Python run faster. https://blog.pyston.org/2017/01/31/pyston-0-6-1-released-and-future-plans/ https://blog.pyston.org/2017/01/31/pyston-0-6-1-released-and... https://opensource.googleblog.com/2017/01/grumpy-go-running-python.html https://opensource.googleblog.com/2017/01/grumpy-go-running-...
