Jodorowsky's Clojure

OMG, it’s hard to stop watching! It’s partly because Python was important for me during an important phase of my developer career, but mostly because it is an exciting, and masterfully told, story!

Ah, Algol-60 and Algol-68 -- two of my first real programming languages!

Ah, Usenet and the uuencode/split dance... Fond memories 🙂

Konrad Hinsen -- our monads guy!

Wonderful to have narration like this. 😃

I went to PyCon in 2013 since it was local, and I remember them talking about Python 3 and how it should only take "five years" to completely migrate everything. It didn't really sink in that it had already been "five years" at that point so they were really talking about a ten year migration -- and certainly in 2018, Python 3 was still not the default and lots of things still didn't run on it. So it was nice to hear the follow-up commentary about how they essentially forced everyone's hand as a security issue and that by 2020, the migration was considered "done" (for the most part!). I also hadn't really heard much about Guido stepping down as BDFL (I mean, I knew it happened but not why or what followed). So it was a fascinating documentary!

Stay tuned ;). (Re Clojure)

I would love to see a Clojure documentary too! 😁
