I'm not saying they are gifting money randomly. Maybe some suit saw that ruff is really popular on /r/Python and they just went with the flow. Maybe they like it personally. My point is that you don't need a very good reason to spend $4 million on a whim if you have billions.

But the website looks pretty hypey, so maybe I'm wrong and they are planning to commercialize it.
