There was a project at Lawrence Livermore National Labs where many years ago they went down this path for scripting and controlling very large numerical calculations. — Guido van Rossum Copy Share Image
Mark Hammond is working in this area, with Windows Scripting Host. It is definitely an area where Python fits almost perfectly. That's quite independent from Java, actually. — Guido van Rossum Copy Share Image
Yes, I definitely believe that it has some good cross-platform properties. Object orientation was one of the techniques I used to make Python platform… — Guido van Rossum Copy Share Image

Now, it's my belief that Python is a lot easier than to teach to students programming and teach them C or C++ or Java… — Guido van Rossum Copy Share Image
The second stream of material that is going to come out of this project is a programming environment and a set of programming tools… — Guido van Rossum Copy Share Image
There is an incredibly large spectrum of possible causes for program bugs, including simple typos, "thinkos," hidden limitations of underlying abstractions, and outright bugs… — Guido van Rossum Copy Share Image

Don't you hate code that's not properly indented? Making it [indenting] part of the syntax guarantees that all code is properly indented. — Guido van Rossum Copy Share Image
I have this hope that there is a better way. Higher-level tools that actually let you see the structure of the software more clearly… — Guido van Rossum Copy Share Image
My own perception of that is somewhat colored by where people ask my advice, which is still, of course, about changes to Python internals… — Guido van Rossum Copy Share Image
Modern programs must handle Unicode —Python has excellent support for Unicode, and will keep getting better. — Guido van Rossum Copy Share Image
If you decide to design your own language, there are thousands of sort of amateur language designer pitfalls. — Guido van Rossum Copy Share Image
Python is an experiment in how much freedom programmers need. Too much freedom and nobody can read another's code; too little and expressiveness is… — Guido van Rossum Copy Share Image
It's easy to make mistakes that only come out much later, after you've already implemented a lot of code. You'll realize Oh I should… — Guido van Rossum Copy Share Image
If you're talking about Java in particular, Python is about the best fit you can get amongst all the other languages. Yet the funny… — Guido van Rossum Copy Share Image
In my daily work, I work on very large, complex, distributed systems built out of many Python modules and packages. The focus is very… — Guido van Rossum Copy Share Image
