OSCON 2003 Impressions
Python creator Guido van Rossum has posted
his impressions on the OSCON 2003 convention.
"Tim O'Reilly's keynote pointed out a new class of "desktop applications" that run as well on Linux as on Windows: Google, Amazon, Ebay. Think about it. What these have in common is not just that they are websites that use open source and dynamic languages to access a huge database: As Tim points out, their success in a large part comes from how they track what *people* do."
