Didn't Guido post a tongue-in-cheek ad for Python to a/the Perl mailing list in Python's early days? I tried to find it now but no luck.

- SwellJoe 10y agoI don't remember it, but I wouldn't doubt it. Certainly, both Guido and Larry have made tongue-in-cheek comments about Perl and Python and the (good-natured) competition for mind share. And, features have been borrowed in both directions, and many developers have gone back and forth (I certainly have multiple times across a couple of decades).
