They seem to have a very large task at hand and with a relative small team I cannot see them implementing all the missing Python functionality in a 1-2 year timeframe. Not only language features like classes, but also the standard library is a huge task.

And this is next to the superset features they want to implement which currently seem to take all the manpower.

100mn is a lot of money, but a problem is that developers that can contribute in this space are rare and expensive. Not something any developer can do.

But hopefully I’m wrong and it is more than yet another “colony on Mars” story to attract interest and invested tots.
