> It has now been revealed that Google eliminated the Python team entirely, as former staff members have detailed on the Hacker News website.

> This move was reportedly made as part of Google's attempts to reduce expenses by recruiting "cheaper labour" outside of the United States

This is contradictory. On one hand Google is moving away from python, on the other it is hiring python staff outside the USA. Not hiring US staff is not really newsworthy.

Does this mean anything for the future of Python overall? Or is it just Google?
