I'm not sure that Python will profit form this. He has had 50% positions before and most of the new things he did were precisely in the period in which he did not work for a corporation.

If anything, this further corporate influence on Python development is not something to be applauded. I bet there will be lots of more churn in the next five years, big announcements and no results.

The ones that let other people do the work or the people who do the work themselves? A lot of prominent folks in the Python space are the former.
