Google's not a nice company (yeah, I know I'm posting from a google account). If you look at their job requirements it's clear they will only hire people with long backstabbing histories. There seems to be no room left for world improving undamaged souls in that company. > (Especially if he uses PyPy to experiment and play in ... :) Yes PyPy could save Python, or destroy the world. I have the impression not many enough people realize that a selfhosting programming language is something on the same level as a nano assembler or an artificial intelligence. There is not much time anymore for idealists to start trying to save the world, and I don't think we can count on google in that respect.
