I wonder about such successful but dedicated to a single project persons - don't they have a FOMO?

  Like Mark Zuckerberg? And Bob Dylan? Van Rossum is famous for the Python language and language-related stuff for Python, but he did stuff in his career before inventing it and has done stuff since (for instance, a lot of his work at Google was on App Engine).

  FOMO on what? Python makes more of an impact on the world than most people would even dream of for their projects. The products that use the language cover the entire spectrum of digital technology...

    Yes, it is a very popular glue scripting language (to oversimplify a bit :)) but that's not the point, I mean that Guido himself is not involved in all of that spectrum directly (AFAIK).

  I'd say it's really exciting to stay focused. Plus Python has been the hot baby for quite a while so he is not missing out anything IMO.
