That was written before the core team decided they could break up the pieces and send some out for bit. There has already been money set aside in the budget system to hire C++ programmers, as well as Java, I think, etc...
and
they hope to speed up that schedule a lot. How's that "hope" working out for you?

Not very well, since
DashDrive is now 4 months past its original "March 2017" deadline AND STILL
100% VAPORWARE.
Even worse, the MIA "June 2016" vaporware of brain.py and classes.py are nowhere to be found.
I bet Duffield is going to steal SIA or STORJ's code, rebrand it to DuffDrive, then attack the original devs when they criticize his shitty broken implementation (because that is EXACTLY what happened with CoinJoin, PrivateSend, and gmax).
