This is pretty much what we did with @pantsbuild. v1 was pure Python. We learned a lot from that, including which parts would benefit from being rewritten in @rustlang and which would be best kept in Python, which is how v2 came to be.

Something we have always promoted is:
1. Implement in Python.
2. Profile.
3. _If_ not fast enough, optimize the algorithm.
4. If _still_ not fast enough, optimize using another language Python has bindings to. https://twitter.com/steveklabnik/status/1454953847080853506

These same concerns apply to any uncritical claims by mainstream media that cryptocurrency X will go to ($,£,€,Z)YYY,YYY+, which has been happening for years, but this is the most recent notable case where people got hurt by them

The BBC published a puff piece promoting a new cryptocurrency three days before its creators disappeared with every dollar invested in it. The media's slack-jawed credulity for crypto is literally costing people their livelihoods.

I'd further like to remind everyone that trying to nitpick this statement helps the fossil fuel companies continue to destroy the earth, so if you really insist upon nitpicking it please choose your words very carefully

Sorry if I sound like a broken record at this point, but during #COP26 week I'd just like to remind everyone that the fossil fuel companies are the real instigators of climate crisis worth worrying about and if we could simply replace fossil fuels with renewables we'd be fine

Elon Musk is going to donate $6 billion to help solve world hunger - 1.8% of his fortune.

He'll write it off and pay $0 in taxes.

He'll be named Time's Person of the Year as a great philanthropist while the average family pays a 14% tax rate.

I am sick of individual purity tests being applied to the climate crisis.

The climate crisis is an industrial problem.

These purity tests are applied by people who can't help but mention "I'm a vegan" when talking about climate.

If you do that, you have failed *my* purity test
