Guido van Rossum, the "Benevolent Dictator For Life" of Python, has had enough and is walking away from leading the popular open-source language.

CPython is the reference implementation of the open-source Python language used by other implementations such as Jython, which is written in Java that relies on a Java virtual machine (JVM).

This computer programming pioneer created the Python programming language, contributed a glob() routine to BSD Unix and aided in developing the ABC programming language.
