Well, Google has their own Python type system and employed Guido for years. I'm sure they've spent millions on improving Python or their usage of Python.
I suspect Instragram has spent > 1M dollars of eng time on Python.
Agree, nowhere near v8/js.
- jashmatthews 6y agoYeah, for sure! I meant focused work on improving Python performance.
- staticassertion 6y agoWhat I'm trying to say is that the companies spend money on the problem of Python performance. I doubt much of it is upstreaming improvements to Python, though I'm sure is (at least indirectly, funding Guido and other major Python developers), but most is probably just improving their own internal libraries, or, more likely, finding ways to FFI.
- gsnedders 6y agoGoogle don't invest heavily in Python performance because the vast majority of their Python isn't performance sensitive, AIUI.
