I’m sorry to hear that.
It does not make sense at all. Python cython is a complex ecosystem. It is very difficult for new engineers to pick up speed.
Do you think there is some priority change? Like more focus on internal use case, instead of upstream contribution?
i doubt there is much room for a priority change. as i said elsewhere, we were a pretty understaffed team, so we were already very focused on the highest value internal use cases. we did have a couple of people who also worked on the core python interpreter, but that was only a fraction of their duties, and even our open source and upstream contributions were driven by stuff that google also needed done.
The Python Foundation team should spin off and make an AI company. Would probably receive a lot of interest from investors.
