Python's Early History
Posted on
It's been a month of meetup talks for me. The third and final one was about Python's early history starting right from when Guido first started working on it in December 1989 until around verson 2.3 when Python was really taking off. Inspirations for the language and various key features are discussed and an obligatory photo of a very young Guido Van Rossum is included too!
This talk was given at the October 2024 Christchurch Python meetup and the slides are available here.
