I realize that "Guido van Possum" was almost certainly a typo here, but it _does_ make for an amusing mental image. I wonder what other forest creatures might have built programming languages? C++ built by Björn "the bear" Stroustrup? C# built by Anders Honeybadger? Ruby by Yukihiro "Catz" Cat-sumoto?
