Interesting article, but the comments of those who say "the only 
language I need to know is Python" strike me as a bit limited. If this 
is the case, then Python can never be moved forward, because it is 
written in C.

I program in Python, C, Objective C, JavaScript, Tcl, AppleScript, and 
I'm learning Perl. Python could *not* handle all the domains I target in 
my projects. For instance: if I want to access Mac-native functionality 
via Tkinter that isn't currently available in the library, I have to 
drill down into C or Objective-C, write a wrapper that hooks in to the 
primitives via Tcl's C API, then possibly write some additional Tcl code 
to provide a cleaner interface, *then* write some kind of Python wrapper 
that I can access in my Tkinter app.

I can understand loving the language and wanting to work just in the 
language, but it's another thing entirely to call Python the One 
Language to Rule Them All. (That's C, because all other languages are 
implemented in it. :-) )
