Thank you, Mitchell Hashimoto. I have always wondered why folks who made their fortunes of technology do not give back consistently. You are part of the few folks such as Jan Koum, Gabriel Weinberg and I'm sure there others who I have

Google's Starlark is a pretty good python-like language that does a lot of what you want, we use it at my company to run untrusted code. It's not exactly python, but a pretty good subset. It's deterministic, hermetically seal

If you're serious about this, I'm working on a new startup about this that is 100% working on using different techniques to help with this. I'd love to talk to you about what your needs are as it would help me have more data

100% this. Ranked in order, it would be: #3, #2, #1, and #4. - #3 is king. If you have a track record, trust comes quickly. - #2 is probably how 80% of investors invest. - #1 is when an investor takes a bet on an unproven entity (i.e. precu

100% this. I am in the middle of this right now. I advise a bunch of companies and this is 100% top of mind.

In 2010, I think arguing that relying on the JVM would be an acceptable gripe. However, it is 2023, almost all of your stated issues have been (IMHO quite elegantly) addressed WITH the added benefit (or maybe detriment?) of backwards compat
