I've seen several reactions like yours, but after reading the interview i've got to say it gave me the same feeling about Guido Van Rossum. Most of his answers are slightly-off one-liners, like he doesn't care about the interview at all. Now I guess his main point is, like he says in its answer to the first question (which must have been swapped btw no?) : "Your questions are rather general and hard to answer. :-) I guess being able to cook an egg for breakfast is invaluable", which i would agree with. So I wouldn't say that he is a jerk but compared with the good-will of the other interviewees, I see how he can come across as one.
