Given the very real and insistent complaints and threats in this group
by others referring my "dictatorship", I don't find your joke funny.

I didn't choose the title, and I have never done anything to force
anyone to use Python.  In fact, I have fought (you have no idea how
hard) over a license that is so liberal that at any point in time
anybody can start a code fork of their own.
