To what extent are such disagreements purely technical (e.g. byte-oriented wire encodings vs. roughly-like-memory) and to what extent are they "political".
By "political" I am talking about your claims about decentralisation and diversity, as if you are selling Sandstorm as the IBM-PC for the cloud millennium: a neutral platform any old software developer. That is very different from Google's way of doing doing business.

I didn't actually propose massive decentralization while at Google, nor did I propose zero-copy encoding. So, no, I don't think I was proposing anything that threatened Google's business model.
