I hated C++ and Matlab as an undergraduate. Hell, I hated programming as a whole - and effectively swear never to write a line of code once I was done with my BSc in Physics.
Then, at work, I was introduced to Python. It was so...obvious, for lack of a better world. It was like a language I always knew that never spoke before.
I'm now a software engineer, write Python almost all day, and looking back to the 18-year old version of myself, I would only say "if only you knew".
That, and more, is what people like Guido and those who followed his path enable people like me to do: enjoy the art of programming.
Thanks Guido, and enjoy your well-deserved retirement.
