> Bit strange thinking of Python as "old"

Python is about 30 years old. Started by Guido van Rossum in December 1989.

Python is older than HTTP, older than the Web.

It's older than most programming languages still in common use today (TIOBE).

I think most people would think of Python as "old" if they thought about its history. Its current cool factor in AI and employment makes it seem newer than it is.
