Entry 1516

Via the Daily Python-URL, a GNU-Friends Interview Guido van Rossum. "Guido van Rossum, known primarily for his work on Python, was recently awarded the FSF Award for the Advancement of Free Software. In this interview with him, he tells of his first experience with computers, his vacation plans and other things."

I hope that the operating system will be an uninteresting detail for most people, just like CPUs, memory and I/O already are: a commodity, taken for granted. What users see will be just applications -- very powerful applicatons, and hig-level ways to tie them together.

The interview is mostly personal rather than about Python. He just had a baby!
