And the other thing that keeps us on Python, and this is the major thing, is how readable and writable it is. When we hire new employees, I don't think we've yet hired an employee who knew Python.

And it's awesome, because I can see from across the room, looking at their screen, whether their code is good or bad, because good Python code has a very obvious structure, and that makes my life so much easier.

Neither Alexis nor I created reddit to be a bastion of free speech, but rather as a place where open and honest discussion can happen: These are very complicated issues, and we are putting a lot of thought into it. It's something we've been thinking about for quite some time. We haven't had the tools to enforce policy, but now we're building those tools and reevaluating our policy.
- Steve Huffman, in "Content Policy update. AMA Thursday, July 16th, 1pm pst." (archived), r/announcements (2015-07-16). Cited in "Was Reddit always about free speech? Yes, and no" (archived), Adi Robertson, The Verge (2015-06-25).

- Ellen Pao, as cited in "Reddit's New Harassment Policy Aimed At Creating A 'Safe Platform'" (archived), All Tech Considered, NPR (2015-05-19)
