The part that really surprised me was this:

  We only had 23 years of Python interpreter development,
  how would things look like when Python is 42, like C?

C, which I always think of as an ancient venerable systems language, is less than twice as old as Python, which I think of as a hot new kid on the block.

In thirty years, when my career will probably be drawing to a close, Python will be 53 years old and C will be 72 years old. Barely any difference at all.
