DARPA Funding Proposal: Computer Programming for Everybody (1999)
Summary
This is a revised funding proposal submitted to DARPA in August 1999 for the "Computer Programming for Everybody" initiative. The proposal was accepted, with work beginning in late 1999. The content appears to be from the official Python Programming Language website, suggesting this proposal is related to making programming more accessible, likely connected to the development or promotion of Python as a language for beginners and non-programmers.
