Guido is not a senior engineer.. he's a "special projects" person. Fewer than 50 such persons would exist in the microsoft stable. Why would you have someone who functions at such a high level bother with low level implementation? There's thousands of shit munching nerds who can implement flawlessly but who need the overarching guidance to deliver product.
- anfeldman 6y agoBecause most really good designers also did low level implementation? Thompson, Ritchie, Leroy, Torvalds. Heck, while I don't know for sure, probably Dave Cutler did, too. I don't know any product that's pleasant to use that was developed in the way you describe. Python certainly wasn't.
