I think everyone's free to put resources into the creation of new programming languages. Google has enough money to put it into all sorts of things without the need to have them pay off. Stefan

Python is great for alot of things but it's not perfect for anything.

'Google' does not think. Go builds on previous works by the main developers. I doubt that they even considered trying to upgrade Python and in particular, its generators, to accomplish the parallel processing goals. Their goal of making Go very fast to compile by machines somewhat conflicts with Python's goal of being fast to read by humans. Terry Jan Reedy |
