Just to be clear, the author is Python Pandas creator and main maintainer. He knows what he is talking about. These are great news.

Hope they get a lot of funding.

I'm not the main maintainer anymore (Jeff Reback has that honor), as I've moved on to work on the "greater pandas ecosystem" (of which my work on Apache Arrow is a part of this long development arc)

Super excited. Just reached out to the email on the site on how I can help technically in the future!

It sounds like with RStudio and Two Sigma they've got startup capital at least. I hope others join them in funding this important work!
