Grumpy: Go running Python

Very interesting project and technical solution. Is this in use at Google? The described example problem is Youtube with millions of requests per second, but the post doesn't say if it Grumpy was put in production (and what performance gains were then achieved).

As has been said by others, Grumpy is not used in production at Google currently. There's still a lot of work to do -- especially on the standard library -- to support large real world codebases.

I'm thinking it isn't in production yet, based on wording like "we're excited about the prospects" and "although it's still alpha software".

Yeah without performance metrics I'm not sure what to think about this. I'm surprised they even used Python to begin with for their front-end server, for such high volumes of traffic.
