Guido picked >>> because he likes the look of it. When you create your own
programming language, you can pick any prompt you like. Different programs,
shells and languages use many different styles of prompts:
Python: >>>
iPython: In [1]:
Ruby (irb): irb(main):001:0>
bash: [steve at ando ~]$
bash (root): [steve at ando ~]#
DOS: >
rhino: js>
lua: >
julia: julia>
xion: >
mutt: :
ed: (no prompt)
zsh: [steve at ando]~%
It is completely a matter of personal taste.
