I'm not going to beat up on you. All I can do is laugh.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

I'm afraid you couldn't be further from the truth about many of your points.
Especially J(P)ython of which you got the intention *completely* wrong ...

I think you will find that the majority of Python programmers are familiar
with Java, C and C++, plus usually a number of other more esoteric languages
(I myself have forgotten around 20 languages I've used over time). Python
tends to draw in people who have used other languages, and appreciate the
(usually) clean and consistent design of Python.
