Well done!  Good for you, that you know the fact; but you are not being 
constructive.

Python is not C either, but we have the while loop.  Python is not 
Smalltalk, but we have
classes.  Python is not LISP, but we have function literals.

Hopefully Guido did not have your approach back when he created Python, 
or we'd have an
assembly language or something instead today.
