Ronald P. Loui writes:

“Google originally used Python because Scott Hassan, who wrote much of the prototype for Brin and Page, had been mentored by an early Python guru and because I was unable to convince him over many years in St. Louis to switch to Gawk or Perl.”

This comes from the man who wrote “Why GAWK for AI?”
