+1.

Marko, you have many times criticised Python on the basis, essentially,
that it is not some other platform. It's quite unproductive, and leads
only to discussions that are at best frustrating for all involved.

If you want a platform that is fundamentally different from Python,
there are plenty available for you. Arguing that Python should be
fundamentally different will not avail us anything good.
