🥳 Behold, the saga of 'xoscript': a scripting language nobody knew was still around since its C64 debut in 1993! 🚀 After multiple reincarnations and server migrations, it now promises to solve a problem that fewer people remember existed. 🙃 Remember folks, when in doubt, just rename and relaunch!

The Origins of Python | Lambert Meertens | Inference

Its design was influenced by creator Guido van Rossum’s involvement with an earlier language, ABC. Lambert Meertens, one of ABC’s developers, recounts Python’s origins and how ABC’s design philosophy shaped its successor.
