Talk:dunder

Guido van Rossum has claimed on Twitter the origin of the word used for the Python programming language:

The word "dunder" was coined on September 26, 2002, by Mark Jackson and Tim Hochberg.

I'm not sure how best to use Twitter as a reference, but if anyone has an idea how, please add it. Mwtoews (talk) 22:10, 15 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Thanks. We'd really need to see the original 2002 text, and not just someone making the claim. Equinox ◑ 22:13, 15 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Following the links, they point to this email thread, where this term was indeed suggested by two people within 12 mins of each other. However, van Rossum's tweet raises the relevance of this email discussion 18 years later, so I'm unsure which is a better source. Mwtoews (talk) 02:49, 16 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
