Python has brought computer programming to a vast new audience (Economist) Here is the Economist's take on the state of the Python language and community. "Mr Van Rossum, though delighted by this enthusiasm for his software, has come to find the rigours of supervising it, in his role as 'benevolent dictator for life', unbearable. He fears he has become something of an idol. 'I’m uncomfortable with that fame,' he says, sounding uncannily like Brian trying to drive away the crowds of disciples. 'Sometimes I feel like everything I say or do is seen as a very powerful force.' On July 12th he resigned, leaving the Pythonistas to manage themselves." |
