In this episode Python is the center of the attention. More precisely CPython, which is the reference implementation Guido van Rossum (the inventor of the language) started all those years ago in the early nineties. As Martin had to skive off to some FLOSS conference, Chris hosts Mark Shannon and Eric Snow, two CPython coredevs (also featuring Mike Müller, a Python Software Foundation fellow, thrown in for good measure), If you still think that Python is some slow interpreted language only good for esoteric big data problems never mind that latest fad called machine learning and AI in general, you don't want to miss this episode. As all of these myths are debunked. And then some. So fasten your seatbelts and enjoy the show!
