With Unladen Swallow looking like a failed IT project, a year
behind schedule and not delivering anything like the promised
performance, Google management may pull the plug on funding.
Since there hasn't been a "quarterly release" in a year, that
may already have effectively happened.
are you sure that the project has failed? Yes the project page is
outdated, but there is also pep-3146 [1] "Merging Unladen Swallow into
CPython"
Regarding the accepted pep, the merge is planed for Python 3.3. So for
me it looks like the development itself has finished and the merging
has started...
I've just found a statement from Collin Winter [1]. He says, that he is
working on other google projects, but they are still targeting the merge
Unladen Swallow with cPython 3.3. The last commitmend to the branch
(py3-jit) was in June this year....
So I would say the project is not dead or has failed, but delayed.
Cheers,
Nils
