Huh, this isn't something I expected - though it explains why Dropbox's implementation on linux was always somewhat non standard in how it followed running with system services.

I didn't even know he created Python until a couple of days ago. I have just started a FutureLearn course on learning to programme in Python (I thought it was time I knew something about this) and at the end of the material there was a short video by Guido van Rossum. So far I have learned

println("hello World")

Hopefully I will learn more soon.

well that's one of the most deserved retirements [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-8e658b2c-37e0-4c59-9702-40fcc9d20c49/contentimage_5F00_1.png:16:16]
