PyPy was funded by EU. I would be very happy if this project is as successful as PyPy.

EU providing tiny amounts of seed funding to and existing project to bootstrap a small proof of concept is entirely different from the EU trying to essentially create a tech giant.

To be perfectly clear, OWS is an example of the former. No one is trying to build a EU search giant.

"Funded by" is very distinct from what's happening here.

This is another Gaia-x, remember, the EU big tech cloud killer?

This is not a Gaia-X, it is an exploratory project, showing a possible way forward and setting first steps.
