People often don't realize this. We hear a lot that python is moving too fast or too slow. To say that disregard the delicate balance the language had to dance on for 20 years. It's crazy.

28 if you want the exact number. :) Guido started developing Python in December 1989 and went public with it on Usenet in February 1991 (Unicode 1.0 was standardized in October later that year to give perspective of how far back that was in the tech world).
