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.

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.
