> After almost 30 years of overseeing the development of the world's most
> popular language, Python, its founder and "Benevolent Dictator For Life"
> (BDFL), Guido van Rossum, has decided to remove himself entirely from the
> decision process
> <https://www.zdnet.com/article/python-language-founder-steps-down/>. From
> a report: * Van Rossum isn't leaving Python entirely. He said, "I'll
> still be there for a while as an ordinary core dev, and I'll still be
> available to mentor people -- possibly more available." It's clear from van
> Rossum's note he's sick and tired of running the organization. He wrote, "I
> don't ever want to have to fight so hard for a PEP (Python Enhancement
> Proposals) [PEP 572 Assignment Expressions] and find that so many people
> despise my decisions." In addition, van Rossum hints he's not been well.
> "I'm not getting younger... (I'll spare you the list of medical issues.)"
> So, "I'm basically giving myself a permanent vacation from being BDFL, and
> you all will be on your own."* From the email
> <https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-committers/2018-July/005664.html>:
> * I am not going to appoint a successor. So what are you all going to do?
> Create a democracy? Anarchy? A dictatorship? A federation? I'm not worried
> about the day to day decisions in the issue tracker or on GitHub. Very
> rarely I get asked for an opinion, and usually it's not actually important.
> So this can just be dealt with as it has always been.* At Slashdot, we
> had the privilege of interviewing Guido van Rossum, a Computer History
> Museum honoree
