This sounds very much like an excuse for not listening
to criticism. It is also a somewhat of a conceited statement
since not everyone has either the time or the expertise
needed to start their own language. What then?
Should those that can't make a better python just shut
up? Is their view always wrong?

This sort of (IMO flawed) reasoning: 'if you don't like it make
your own' is often heard in the open source world. Arguably  it is the
cause of so many redundant and unfinished pieces of software
that replicate 90% of each other's functionality yet lack the
maturity that would make them useful

The last thing the world needs is another python-like language
with say braces or without decorators...
