Guido Van Rossum - Keynote 05 - PyCon 2014

[@Ex0dus111]

Wow seeing him type that slow is really encouraging.

[@CarlosLlamacho]

I consider myself lucky to be able to hear and see this man program, even via KZbin.

[@DlcEnergy]

There are better things than printing random words from a list... Such as 3D games... GTA V for example... The complexity of that took them ages to make...

[@preddy09]

Wow, this is like seeing God himself doing some programming.

[@ironman5034]

and failing😂

[@SHONNER]

4:54 I don't feel guilty now for using _global_ that one time... that I did. 10:50 Don't put everything on one line. 17:50 That's cool that there's people now that only know Python. I wish I didn't know COBOL... or Visual Basic. 22:43 No two Python users are alike. 27:35 He who controls the past, controls the future.

[@Un0rdin4rYPr0gr4mmeR]

11:12 - We are not Perl hahahahaha :) I love this guy.

[@mbonuchinedu2420]

Oh wow. This is wonderful

[@millennia]

Such an inspirational man!

[@jonatanwestholm]

I think about 11:00 every day, even when not writing python.

[@jekochannel]

amazing

[@afraheemraz3753]

before watching this video i was thinking to learn python from Guido Van Rossum. now i changed my mind 🤣🤣🤣

[@andyhowerman4311]

He's wearing the same shirt as from Pycon 2012. 2 years is long :P

[@irpangimm2899]

Python programming language is a programming language created by a great person (Guido Van Rosum) .. Extraordinary Thank you for your work. from irpangi Indonesia

[@berg.worldNow]

congratulations

[@SebastianHanula]

Very nice talk... but too short! Something like 3 hours would be perfect.

[@maxim_mahadeva]

what would have been even more perfect than that? is 6 hours of talk. :D

[@ianpan0102]

Watching at 1.5 speed:) btw brilliant and helpful speech

[@ruthlessadmin]

First, a question for long-time python programmers: Was there as much difficulty with mass adoption of 2.x versions from 1.x versions? And now my main comment: Another problem I see with the 2.7 to 3.4 move, is that a lot of newish projects, like Kivy are now having to support both the old AND the new versions of python, which has to be nothing short of a nightmare and also delaying adoption of 3.4. My thought process goes something like this (in so much as I hate to admit it): "Why move to 3.4 when I can still do everything I want in 2.7 and not have to really worry about module compatibility at all? I mean, learning the changes in 3.4 is just going to be a pain in *MY* ass and other people are still supporting me in 2.7, anyway, so what's the point in making the switch now" Of course this line of thinking is wholly self-centered, and will ultimately lead me to disaster in the future, when 2.7 dies out, but for as long as it is the most popular version, life is great!! :D

[@sloanlance]

I like that Guido's idea of getting time to breathe and relax is to do coding in front of a live audience. 😂 (03:15) I think that would make me more self conscious and nervous!

[@user-ko2xo9hl9k]

ランダムライブラリをインポート→関数定義→questionをグローバル変数へ→条件分岐→オープン関数…

[@aruprakshit7218]

What editor is this?

[@ironman5034]

the only editor you need for python (IDLE)

[@RonJohn63]

He sounds Russian, but two years ago, he sounded like Linus. Very strange.

[@xmrshadyxx8556]

6 years later.. Question: 'Opposed the idea of exception expressions?" >>> x = d[4] except KeyError: None File "", line 1 x = d[4] except KeyError: None ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax >>> still not working :D :D :D

[@sloanlance]

10:54 - (Paraphrasing) Some people want to put a lot into one line. I think it's ok to take a breath and use a few more words. We're not PERL here.

[@DlcEnergy]

7:30 VS import random; print(random.choice(open('questions.txt').read().split(' ')))

[@DlcEnergy]

statikreg Sup?

[@DlcEnergy]

***** All it is doing: print(), random(), open() Too extreme for ya?

[@Asdayasman]

DLC ENERGY import this

[@DlcEnergy]

statikreg print random questions It doesn't matter if you don't fully understand it... xD

[@DlcEnergy]

Sup... again?

[@pointthink]

"You're not a woman"

[@Savageboi506]

Haha this is why Python gets no corporate support

[@anichols1969]

wow, sexist much?

[@ruthlessadmin]

I'm trying to convince myself that he was just distracted, and not concentrating on what he was saying, but..... >_>
