Guido van Rossum Leaves Zope.com
VladDrac writes "Guido van Rossum, the author of the Python programming language, announced at OSCON last night that he's leaving zope.com, to work for a new startup called 'Elemental Security', founded by Dan Farmer (known from several security tools such as Satan). Guido leaving Zope.com will also probably mean that he will be no longer involved in Zope3 development, but hopefully he'll have more time to spend on Python development." Guido says that he's excited about his new employer, but that nothing substantial will change about Python as a result of the move. "It's just that I'll be working from the West coast." Python is "already quite secure," he says, and will be the basis of an upcoming security product ("just getting started") from Elemental.
Friends don't let friends code Python
Python is crap. At least use a language that isn't indent dependent, where a tab and 8 spaces can be interpreted as two different code blocks.
At least code in a decent language.

Python sucks absolute dog cocks! Why do I am forced to use tabs and spaces. Without them I can uses more elegent and faster code. I hope all these n00b programmers using python come to their senses and USE a REAL language such as c++ and perl. Both elegant and faster. tabs and paces optional
This is the stupidest thing I've read all day. Take it outside, zealot. The rest of your post is either troll or ignorance.
