Interesting! I hadn't even considered the first generation of Python (I'm generation three haha) but just for any history buff out there, I heard from an interview with Guido van Rossum that it was originally based on the ABC language! Cool 🤓
Awesome! I hadn't heard of ABC - I knew Modula-3 was also an influence, but per Wikipedia van Rossum actually worked on ABC himself directly prior to starting Python.
Ohh I haven't heard of Modula-3! nd yes, he did work on ABC :)
Here's the video from the interview if you're interested! He talks about how he came up with the idea of Python as a scripting language. He's quirky and is so cool!
