		m0zg on Nov 12, 2020 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Guido van Rossum joins Microsoft Sources familiar with their thinking say Torvalds and Stallman will join Microsoft early next year. On a more serious note, I hope Van Rossum and Hejlsberg spend lots of quality time together and thoroughly pick each other's brains. This could result in great things in the programming language space.

You don't happen to have anywhere I could read about Stallman potentially joining Microsoft? I find it hard to believe he would.

It was a joke. :-) Hence "sources familiar with their thinking" and "on a more serious note".
