Interesting: considering the tone of the YC announcement post I had assumed that funding via Kickstarter was put on the back burner. In particular I'm surprised that support for a given language would hinge on a funding goal therein! So a number of questions come to mind: Wasn't Chris offering to return Kickstarter donations? What will happen if some people take him up on that offer after the funding period has closed? Perhaps Python support should be based off a different metric now that Chris is guaranteed funding via YC?
