I read the article with excitement, but unfortunately that article is total BS -- it's reporting at its worst, and then some. The actual project that article is about http://code.google.com/p/unladen-swallow/wiki/ProjectPlan seems to be massively misrepresented by the arstechnica aricle. As far as I can tell this is in no way some official "Google project" as the article claims, and there's not much on that wiki that gives me confidence the project members know what they are doing. Anyway, this kind of reminds me of this (failed?) but massive project: http://codespeak.net/pypy/dist/pypy/doc/ or this one: http://psyco.sourceforge.net/ -- William --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-devel-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
