Yes, as you've said many times.  It may be language barrier but your
posts about everyone else being completely wrong and dumb aren't
winning you any converts.  I'm glad you like prototype based languages,
and have fun working on Prothon.  Until it becomes more than vaporware
(eg, finished compiler and used successfully in a project) it can't
be more than a better idea.  Since I need to actually get some work
done I'll stick with python.
