Hii Gosi,

from some pythonistas.
I'd just like to say from some but not all.

It is *A GOOD THING* that Python has bridges to other languages. Some
may not care to program in the other language - which is a separate
concer;. but a link between the language - be it Haskell or befunge or
J, makes Python better in my view. If your expert J programmers have
need for something that is hard to do in J they might now be more
likely to use Python.

We should remember that Python is a great glue language too, and links
to other languages and tools is how we maintain that position.
