SEBASTOPOL, CA

Perl and Python to begin joint development
Larry Wall, the creator of Perl, and Guido van Rossum, creator of Python,
today announced that their respective projects are about to begin a period
of joint development.

> I thought Guido and the rest of the Python crew worked at Digicool, but
> apparently he just accepted a job at ActiveState, together with
> Larry Wall.
>
> Where is this going? If Perl and Python are merging in the near future,
> we'll need to find another language to fight our language wars with ;)  C#
> maybe? :)
