Which language do you mean? Python 1.0 seems to have come out in 1994 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Python#Version_1 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Python#Version_1).
- goatlover 5y agoOCaml came out in 96. That would be PhD level in comparison. As for Python, it's interesting how it was considered a simple, easy to use language that focused on doing things one way back then. But now nearing version 4, it's turned into a complex language with many ways to do things. Makes one wonder how long Go will be able to hold out for. JS has gone the same route as Python. I guess Scheme managed stay simple, but it was never that popular. OTOH, It's cousin CL is complex. To paraphrase Stroustrup: There are two kinds of languages: the simple ones (Scheme, Smalltalk, early Python and JS), and the ones everyone uses.
- pjmlp 5y agoI was referring to Java. OCaml is not on the languages referred by Rob Pike.
- pjmlp 5y agoNothing on my comment was about Python, and Rob Pike mentioned others, like Java.
