Guido van Rossum created the Python language - http://www.python.org/ - and is Benevolent Dictator for Life of the Python community. He has taken Python from a hobby into one of the most popular languages today, powering internet giants like Google (and Dropbox :-). He is currently employed by Google, where he spends half his time on Python. On October 20th, 2011, he spoke at Dropbox Headquarters on the roots of the language and its evolution over the last 21 years.

  • Oh Master...what shall I do?...I cannot understand the Python!!!! :)

  • @psychofish25 Lolwut. Not by far close to it. Anyone non-dutch isn't able to pronounce it, lets just keep it to that.

  • Larry Wall? And Guido van Rossum? I expected a FENCING MATCH! I am disappoint.

  • I can learn a lot from it! Python is easy to learn and is very efficient.

  • MEGA GYGA TERA BYTE!

    (The Dropbox people will be able to identify what I'm talking about).

    Have a great day, guys!
