| Considering Google uses Python extensively (from what I hear) I imagine this can only be a good thing. Let's hope he gets paid to do what he does best and doesn't get sitetracked. | ||

From everything i've heard, i can't help but expect that the kinds of things being done at google present some of the most stimulating and diverse challenges for python to grow on. Just the scaling issues - from the sheer magnitude of the things they company works on to the widespread deployment of python in the company - seem like terrific challenges, the kinds of things we want to see guido and python tackling.
A progressive company doing interesting things and already solidly supportive of python seems like an ideal place for guido and for python - and in turn, for the company itself. YAY!
