- int_19h 5y agoSorry, I wasn't clear enough: ABC is not just some random language - it's one that GvR worked on before Python, and he specifically said in several interviews that it's where Python originated from. As you correctly surmised, ABC was a teaching language, hence the choice to go with indentation.
