Guido van Rossum joins Microsoft
Eh, I don't think so. If they ever do, he can just move on. I'm sure there's no shortage of big (or small) employers who would love to have him.

Yes, but who can pay him as much as MS can?

He worked at Google for seven years just after their IPO, and then Pre-IPO at Dropbox. It's unlikely that he's there for the paycheck.

Any of the other FAANGs or unicorns. I doubt that the paycheck is his primary motivation, but I could be wrong.

Google uses a lot of Python and I'm sure they'd be happy to have him, for instance

He already worked at Google from 2005 to 2012, although they might be interested in having him back.
