I'll be curious to see where this project goes.
given the comments on python-dev i wonder if this is the first
indication
that python is going to split into separate implementations for windows
and unix (via .net and llvm, respectively)?
What comments are they? There is no indication that unladen-swallow is
fundamentally broken for Windows, just temporarily broken due to the
lack of windows developers/contributors...
the comments you are referring to - that windows is not a priority, that
they currently have no testing on windows machines, etc. i quote, for
example: "None of the three of us have Windows machines, nor do we
particularly want to acquire them :), and Windows support isn't going to
be a big priority."
Saying-no-to-fud ly,
which part of "i wonder" don't you understand? i'm not saying it is true,
i'm just discussing the possibility.
Fair enough - although its reasonable for people to look for some
indication of what you are saying to have some basis in reality, surely?

Which part of my reply did you think was defensive? I wasn't suggesting
such a split would necessarily be a bad idea, just that there was no
evidence of it. IMO discussing such a split would create a huge amount
of FUD, generating a huge amount of wasted energy if it wasn't true.

Wow, talk about jumping to conclusions :) Is there something you feel
the need to get off your chest?
