Yep, Greg did say that at SDForum, but in fact I'm working on a much
wider range of problems than just the datapush -- I lead Production
Systems, which includes parts of all of the above and yet more stuff
(account management, network verification, etc etc) -- done mostly in
Python, but with substantial helpers in C++ as well (not so much for CPU
efficiency reasons, as for keeping memory use under strict control when
necessary, the area where C/C++ really shines;-).
