The Story of Python and how it took over the world
This is the story of the world's most beloved programming language: Python. What began as a side project in Amsterdam during the 1990s became the software powering artificial intelligence, data science and some of the world’s biggest companies. But Python's future wasn't certain; at one point it almost disappeared.
This 90-minute documentary features Guido van Rossum, Travis Oliphant, Barry Warsaw, and many more, and they tell the story of Python’s rise, its community-driven evolution, the conflicts that almost tore it apart, and the language’s impact on... well… everything.
In the evening I found on Usenet (still not dead) a link to a YouTube
documentary about the programming language Python: The Story of
Python and how it took over the
world. I plan to watch
this documentary later this week. The program that generates this blog,
tumblelog, is also available as a Python version on GitHub.
