My two cents (or less): I think--if anything--announcements like these provide some valuable "intel" and insight into what other language communities are doing... Keeps us Pythonistas on our toes. ;) For a newb like me, who does well just to stay on top of Python, it's better than trawling bulletin boards, reading blogs, going to yet more meet-ups, etc. As an entrpreneur: I think seeing what skill sets start-ups are hiring for now is the surest way to discern where the real edge of progress in the other community lies. Hence, knowing that, inspires development or sparks conversation in the community of developers I live in... Finally, IMHO, insomuch as Jathan is a member of both communities, seems perfectly legit and natural for him to include us in this announcement, no? (That being said: I understand well concerns to maintain the relevancy of this group's list. It would indeed be a drag if an "onslaught" of non-Python related material diluted the value / "purity" of this group's list. Even so: this is hardly an onslaught. In that regard, don't know if an "all Python all the time" policy is better than a more liberal way to manage things... Personally: I intuit a more porous and less insular "circle of trust" with regard to post-able content is smarter long-term...and potentially more profitable...for all Piggies.<div>
