The quote is from December 1999 issue of Linux Journal. I asked about
it on comp.lang.lisp in a discussion where Python came up and the
reply I got was that the full quote is apparently:

  "Some people think, for instance, that Dylan--which I think has a
   very academic flavor--is everything Python is plus so much more."
   To which the interviewer replies "Dylan?  I've never heard of it",
   which, says Guido, is its problem.
