Reitz is no core dev, guido has always delivered. His track record is flawless. However, the first release will probably suck like asyncio or type hints did.

It will take time to become usable, but it's unlikely it won't happen.
- tla100 5y agoWhat track record does GvR have in terms of speeding up CPython? He did not care for 3 decades (which is a defensible position given C extensions) and has been literally called "the boat anchor" by another HN member many times. Mypy was Jukka Lehtosalo's work, asyncio was fixed and extended by many. So now he needs a project at Microsoft, he changed his mind (or had it changed under pressure) and this is the project. We'll see, I agree though that the first version will be underwhelming, the following versions will have a max speedup of 50% but will be celebrated at conferences and here.

- WesolyKubeczek 5y agoReitz is no core dev, true, but he serves as an illustration and a cautionary tale of what can happen if you throw large sums of money at seemingly-prolific people hyperactive on socmedia. Namely, that it’s absolutely not guaranteed to work.
