Pythonͱ
• Guido van Rossum:
• … The first sound bite I had for Python was, "Bridge the gap between the
shell and C.”
• So I never intended Python to be the primary language for programmers
… It was intended to be a second language for people who were already
experienced programmers…
• We now have a large community of people using Python as an
educational language … These people aren't and may never be
professional programmers, but they still find some programming skills
useful.
