Foundation says it won’t compromise policy of inclusivity even if that cash would’ve really helped

    I’ve met Guido (founder of the language) a few of times and I’ve never seen anyone care as much about community and diversity in the programming world as he does. Guido mentored people personaly to fill in diversity gaps so needless to say diversity is very important to the Python community, even after Guido himself stepped down from Python Foundation, the community never faltered in remaining true to these issues.

      Anyone who has ever been to a pycon can confirm this and won’t be surprised. Some of the most inclusive and accepting events I’ve ever been to. And this was 10 years ago already.
