It does seem a little silly that they're requiring so much more money for a language that obviously has such significant support.
Also, I'm not sure how it would work for people who donated solely in hopes that Python would be supported. Since they've long passed their actual kickstarter funding amount, does that leave ~$100k worth of donors that won't get what they tried to buy, but can't get their money refunded?
They'll probably get the money and we'll never know, but I would be interested to find out how they're planning to handle these issues.

- frio 14y agoChris programs Clojure, and Light Table's demos have (so far) been about Clojure. It's not a ransom: it's "if we get another $100k, we will spend that money on hiring developers to work explicitly on this feature". It's a notice informing pledgers (is that a word?) about where any extra funding will go.
- dkersten 14y agoHis latest demo actually supported Python, so I think Python support is a given at this stage, regardless of how much money he gets on kickstarter.
