I'm not sure how I can see Guido having the effect at Dropbox that he had at Google. Dropbox's engineering difficulties, while large, are not near that of Google's. Is this more of a Matz being hired by Heroku scenario, in name only sort of thing.

stop acting like you know abut Dropbox's engineering difficulties.
They are language designers, not systems engineers. Any place with programmers has problems they can solve, and hopefully open source.
