The following job announcement over at the main Python site caught my
eye. I found this really disappointing. (Not to say Python isn't a great
language -- I like it too and use it for various things.) But still, why
aren't these openings and plans for Squeak?
Obviously internal politics may decide things for non-technical reasons,
but still, what is it that Squeak needs to make it the platform of
choice for Disney for these sorts of applications? <hint: business
Squeak type things...>
