OTOH, Java and Smalltalk both take the "we are the world" approach,
while Python slithers into whatever niches it finds, playing nicely
with everyone it finds there. (UNIX? It can fork/pipe/munge text files with
the best of them. Windows? It can COM and ActiveX until your face
turned blue. Java? There isn't a class it can't use)
