That is not Python's problem, or my problem, that is your problem.

Not that it matters, when you release BartC or whatever you call your 
language it'll take over the world, so I'm looking forward to dropping 
Python.  What is the release date?  Could it be the same as that for 
Python 2.8 or RickedPython?  Will the unicode handling be better than 
that of the dread Python 3.3+, PEP393 Flexible String Representation as 
repeatedly pointed out by the RUE?  Performance wise will it be tested 
against real world benchmarks or microbechmarks?  Better still, will it 
be bug free, such that I don't have to waste my time on the equivalent 
of bugs.python.org raising problems, which should have been foreseen by 
your one man crew?
