I think Python's problem is its success. Whenever something is 
succesful, the first thing people want is more features. Hell, that is 
how you know it is a success. The BDFL still talks about simplicity, but 
that is history. GvR, IMHO, should chased wish-listers away with "use 
Lisp" and kept his gem small and simple.
