Latest version severely incorrectly allocates python resources #21

Hi, how are you? Nice to meet you! I'm here in the cybercafe at Gold's and I'm reading this blog you have, and then I cloned this project and realized immediately that there is a serious design flaw. You are damaged goods, lady! This project misallocates valuable resources of the Python community. Did you think you could get away with this? Did you poach the Guido from Google just to stick him in a cage and force him to work on a Python 2.7 project for the past year? ARGH! I have to hand it to you, best mind fuck yet.

Sure llvm is what the damn hippies like, but your are either late to the party or ignoring the empty bottles of peppermint schnapps. Pypy, Numba, Blaze. You must learn why they fear the night. You must learn their riddle, you must learn their discipline. Let the Guido go work on something like salt, or shipyard, or sympy.

Also, why don't your prices drop relative to S3? I'm terribly sorry to disturb your party. HA!

I think a successful project like this could increase the number of people using and investing in Python, so I disagree that Python's resources are fixed. Guido hasn't been directly involved so I don't think we've taken too much time from his other interests.

As for those projects you mentioned, I think we've learned their discipline, but I'm not sure it's possible to learn their riddle so I'm closing this as "won't fix".

I'm still not sure that this wasn't posted by a mindless bot. On Apr 8, 2014 4:00 AM, "Kevin Modzelewski" notifications@github.com wrote:
