In October 2010, after Microsoft abandoned the IronPython project, Hugunin left Microsoft to work for Google. On his personal website, he described Microsoft's decision regarding IronPython as "a catalyst but not the cause of my leaving the company", and said that having "a healthy relationship with Open Source code and communities" at Microsoft was "possible" but "felt like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole". According to LinkedIn, Jim left Google in May 2013.

In December 2017, Jim launched a beta version of a cloth simulator called Artful Physics.
