I prefer this[1]

Each object has to figure out how it will receive things from outside
of it.  Things it can't handle (a string sent to an int) just have to
be dropped to some other space, much like stderr does within the O.S.

There are probably many other very interesting examples, but the key
idea I'm working on (as noted in other messages), is a sort-of
universal language for the internet, a WebOS to be applied to a
universal data model.

I'd guess that the concept is in the same boat as Python 2.8 or 
RickedPython, but I suspect that these two have far more chance of 
making it into the real world than "a sort-of universal language for the 
internet, a WebOS to be applied to a universal data model"
