The Python item
| 
Sep 16 23:33 UTC 2006 |
The Python programming language came out of the Amoeba distributed operating
system built by Andy Tanenbaum at the Free University in Amsterdam. Guido
van Rossum, who was working in the Amoeba group, wanted a systems programming
language somewhere between C and the Bourne shell, and created Python.
Python now runs on a variety of different platforms, is fully object-oriented,
compiles to an internal bytecode representation, and features an extensive
class library. Ask about it here.

I do not like how I cannot read Python code on a 80-character terminal. I
think the funny structural indentation concept just leaves older hardware out.

Yes, but try setting column width on a real VT-100 from circa 1980
sometime.
