Google App Engine originally used a custom containment strategy. Back in the day, I was on the team that added Python 2.7 support to App Engine and we were experimenting with a different containment approach. But Python is a complex language to support - you need to support WSGI, to support dynamic loading (for C extensions), a reasonably performant file system (Python calls `stat` about a billion times before actual…

And now you tell me that that could have been for real. :-(

#40So he is running clusters of brainf#ck machines in the cloud? I think this can be legitimately called a Clusterf#ck.
If this isn't a thing already it should be.
Google has a testing library called Karma that used to be called Testacular...
