John Ousterhout had the idea for Tcl in 1987.  He began writing
it in 1988, and others were using it early that same year.

Guido thought up Python's essentials at the end of '89.  He made
a first working version at the beginning of '90.  Colleagues used
it in '90.  He posted a release to NetNews in '91.
