Excellent plan! Devious minds are attracted to Python, like mimes to unappreciative crowds.

Python's syntax succeeds in combining the mistakes of Lisp and Fortran. I do not construe that as progress.

Python is an experiment in how much freedom programmers need. Too much freedom and nobody can read another's code; too little and expressiveness is endangered.

And what defines a 'python activist' anyway? Blowing up Perl installations worldwide?

Python is more concerned with making it easy to write good programs than difficult to write bad ones.
