Snark aside, I don't see what one has to do with the other. It's perfectly sensible for them to keep pushing pyston to have an alternate solution.

I wasn't snarking, merely asking a question. It's valid to ask whether the Python compiler is working out since the stated goal is "to produce a high-performance Python implementation that can push Python into domains dominated by traditional systems languages like C++."
Since Dropbox has rewritten a chunk of systems in Go it suggests that Pyston isn't working out.
If you check out the announcement timings, it was far too soon for Pyston to have an effect. You can't churn out PyPy-grade JITs like they were burgers...
