Great concept to have these luminaries in this field to watch and understand their background. Excellent idea to capture these phenomenal personalities and their life stories in their own words.
I have used many programming languages through the years. Both before and after I found Python. And Python is the only language, where it would be accurate to say that I love it.
Men i respect the guy so much i love him, i use python in career of software development , no current language that i love as python really, cheersssssssssss to Guido Van Rossum
As a Python Programmer this man is a inspiration to me in my work. His story helps me to create my own language to be in this elite group of founders. - The man behind the Snake - The only people who would dislike something like this don't know the programming world. The story of a man who created the most powerful and popular programming languages on the planet.
I believe they are four people in computer history who changed the way we look at science. The first is "John Bakus", who invented Speedcoding and Fortran, the second two are "Brian Kernighan" and "Dennis Ritchie," for creating the C programming language, and the fourth one is "Guido van Rossum." for inventing Python. They created a beautiful world that made us love programming and keep going.
If only there were more three hour interview videos about programming languages. This isn't sarcasm. This was very engaging, but can also be played in the background.
Good interview, but you can tell the interviewer has a very American perspective. CHM use a kind of standard set of questions about parents, childhood and school etc. Those questions just don't fit well with older countries (like always asking where they originally come from) and the way Dutch society is organised. That's (one of the reasons, together with Guido's nedry. almost autistic character) why the interview has a pretty rough start because Guido doesn't have the long answers Hansen expects. I'm Dutch myself and recognise a lot of his answers, but it doesn't create the usual smooth, colorful conversation you see in other oral histories. That's just the way we are. 🙂
Guys what if we all stand together to request Sir Guido to make python course on Udemy before he leave this world. This will make us keep his legacy burning.

You should check out some of the languages inspired by Python. Julia is a really neat one.
Indeeded, I agree too :-D
But it's slower
My first love was and still is C, but python is by far the easiest one I've used, so intuitive

Interviewer is doing a great job, asking questions I might want answers for

This is the type of video TH-cam puts on when I forget to turn of the video I use as background noise to go to sleep

seems you forgot Brendan Eich ;) th-cam.com/video/IPxQ9kEaF8c/w-d-xo.html
I don't think you can leave out Claude Shannon, John von Neumann, Alan Turing, and of course Charles Babbage and Ada Lovelace.
@@DrCat-vq6yo Indeed.
Great guy… great life history… I wish I would be able to click multiple thumbs up.
He is the 8th wonder of the world
So much RESPECT for Mr. van Rossum.
By the way I think the interviewer was a little bit weird.
Interviewer had an agenda for military survivors. Most of the questions are still on the table.
Somehow i get the feeling i'm watching a very long Monty Python sketch sort of;-)
If only there were more three hour interview videos about programming languages. This isn't sarcasm. This was very engaging, but can also be played in the background.

Please do a history with Ken Thompson!!
Fascinating insight into programming languages.

Great interview. Everyone has their faults, although cowardice is especially appalling to me...
What an amazing conversation
Finally making me decide to get back into python.
Hell yeah after only two hours the mind of the interviewer
cracked by Guido van and start repeated ( sort of ) a lot
let me register my comment for a record purpose..
may Allah bless you for you have develope a Programing language thats No 1 currently on planet...
God hates allah.
24:55 fond memories.
Nothing makes me appreciate Python more then learning Rust.
The interview was sort of good but it was sort of pretty long
Where is playlist of "Oral History" series on channel?
Please check out “Myth of Sisyphus”
Respect and gratitude to Mr. Python. Before you, I didn't know anything. Not a damn thing.
Is it under a creative commons license?
Lol
I like him, because he is my teacher
Tanenbaum was probably right, but Torvalds was effective.
Guys what if we all stand together to request Sir Guido to make python course on Udemy before he leave this world. This will make us keep his legacy burning.
He has written a short book on python already. Interestingly, creators don’t make great teachers. It’s a different skill.
Surprised he has no overt accent, makes for easy listening
I guess dutch dont crack! How is this man 63 years old at the time of the interview?!
sort of...
Incredible
Hero
was?
Python, its better than Bash
2:13:13 python and lisp
Strange this guy.
Please Mr Guido, stop saying "sort of" 😁
really that sort of fun saying sort of(somewhat) crazy
Because in his mind he is still logically sorting and ranking ideas. 😁 respect to this man though
