While I know that most of you aren't Pythonistas, you might still get a kick from this. The story of how one man created a programming language over Christmas vacation, and changed the world of tech.
It covers much of the growth of the language, and how it came to dominate one field after another. It was also fun for me, as I've gotten to hang out with many of the people in that video over the years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfH4QL4VqJ0 One fun fact: Paul McNett and I attended our first PyCons in 2004, and didn't know anyone else. At lunch we sat at a table, and within a minute two people joined us. One was a guy who had given a talk that morning, and the other was none other than Guido van Rossum! For you Fox-only people, it would be like going to Devcon and having Dr. Dave join you for lunch! -- Ed Leafe _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: https://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: https://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: https://leafe.com/archives This message: https://leafe.com/archives/byMID/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
