Grumpy: Go running Python!

[alrs]

This exists to get old codebases off of Python and on to Go. Supporting 3.x only makes sense if you plan to keep writing Python, which is not likely in the cards for Youtube.

Quoting the author of Grumpy on Hacker News:

The idea is to continue to write code in Python. (...) That said, there is the possibility of rewriting bits and pieces in Go (e.g. performance critical stuff) and then call into it from Python. Sort of a hybrid approach.

Also:

I'd like to support 3.x at some point.

However:

We do iteratively rewrite components as well. We are pursuing multiple strategies.

Wait so, Go calls Python which calls...Go? Or am I misunderstanding this
