Why Is NumPy Only Now Getting Funded?
>the entire scientific Python stack was essentially relying upon on the “free time” work of only about 30 people—and no one had funding!<p>30 people? I remember a time when a certain fruit company would enter a field, literally hire all 30 of those guys, and put them behind closed doors. Then in 2 years they'd dominate the field for the next decade.<p>Are these guys turning down offers? Or is the fruit company that poorly managed now?
