I develop an operating system running on bare metal :). It's sort of an appliance, but I don't think Xeons really qualify as embedded.

Codechef appears to use Python 3.1.2 for "Python3", which is pretty old (March 21st, 2010) and predates some significant performance improvements in Python3[0]. [0]: E.g., 3.3 adds…

Personal plug, because the article mentions snakebite; hadoofus[1] is a C library that natively speaks to HDFS (v1), with a Python wrapper. No Java involved. Pros (vs Snakebite): *…
