Guido van Rossum

- Van Rossum was born and raised in the Netherlands, where he received a master's
degree in mathematics and computer science from the University of Amsterdam in
1982. He received a bronze medal in 1974 in the International Mathematical Olympiad.

- Guido van Rossum began working on Python in the late 1980s as a successor to the
ABC programming language and first released it in 1991 as Python 0.9.0.
- Python is a high-level, interpreted, general-purpose programming language. Its design
philosophy emphasizes code readability with the use of significant indentation.
- Python is dynamically-typed and garbage-collected. It supports multiple programming
paradigms, including structured (particularly procedural), object-oriented and functional
programming. It is often described as a "batteries included" language due to its
comprehensive standard library.
- Python 2.0 was released in 2000 and introduced new features such as list
comprehensions, cycle-detecting garbage collection, reference counting, and Unicode
support. Python 3.0, released in 2008, was a major revision that is not completely
backward-compatible with earlier versions. Python 2 was discontinued with version
2.7.18 in 2020.
