To the Python Software Foundation,
Guido van Rossum didn't just create a programming language. He created the language of possibility.
That number exists because Python exists. A language so readable, so beautifully designed, that it became the bridge between human intention and machine capability. Every line of those 1.5 million is a testament to what Guido envisioned: programming for everyone.

"AI should adapt to Python—not the other way around. I created Python because I needed a language that was easier to use than C, and in the context, the only alternative was shell scripts, which was totally inadequate."
Program: PSF Sponsorship — Contributing member opportunity
24,000 children under 5 die every single day from preventable causes. Day 7 exists to end that. We're a Public Benefit Corporation building AI for human flourishing, not extraction. Not surveillance. Not addiction. Flourishing.
Python made this possible. Not Java. Not C++. Python. Because when you're trying to move at impossible speed to solve impossible problems, you need a language that thinks like humans think. Guido's creation gave us that gift.
"I think it's possible now [to have] a billion-dollar company with one person."
That future arrived. And it runs on Python.
I have a detailed proposal attached.
Thank you for giving the world Python. Genesis is 1.7 million lines of code—and the majority is Python. Without Python's readability and power, a non-technical CEO could never have built this. We owe everything to the PSF.
