Financial organizations generally want all their language infrastructure for free (GCC, Python, Eclipse) anything they write themselves is treated as asset and so theirs not for anyone else. Show them PyPy is 30x faster than CPython for their use case but needs £50,000 to be production ready, and they carry on using CPython. (And waste millions of £s in staff time waiting for Python codes to finish.) > i'd say: "you want it? DIY or GTFO." That leads to them using Java, Scala, C++, C# and Python. Which they do. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.win...@ekiga.net 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: rus...@winder.org.uk London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
