Several online news outlets report that Google laid off its entire Python language team. However, Google denied that the layoffs were company-wide when asked about the fate of the team.
Reports of the Python team’s dismissal have shown up in Reddit, Hacker News, and social.coop. “Google’s Python team was a small team, most of which were also on the Python steering council or core Python developers,” one commenter said in Hacker News. “These people had decades of experience in Python. Their knowledge and community connections [are] irreplaceable.”
