There's some wonderful talks by Guido on YouTube. Before Python, he was involved with the ABC language. He discusses in one of his talks, I wish I could remember which, the fact that they conducted a lot of research with users for ABC. The sort of thing where you ask a naive user what they think a command named "join" might do, etc. As a result, Guido has a better idea than many, of how real-world users expect languages to behave.
