I understand that Google wants to push Go. This is normal; just like Microsoft pushes/pushed .NET.

But overall, I think that it would have been better for the community if Google put their horsepower behind CPython to make it run faster. I don't know how realistic it is, though.

About that..

Thanks for the link. Didn't know that Google worked on CPython!

It seems that the real issue was not that it was rejected; instead, not enough people inside Google found it valuable enough to justify any further spending/development on it. This is sad.

It seems that people who worked on Unladen Swallow were the founding members of Go.
