We are in an era for programming languages sort of like the Windows 95
era was for operating systems, where everything is broken but some of
the fixes are beginning to come into view.  So there is no language
that currently really works the right way, but some of them including
Python are (one hopes) moving in good directions.  Maybe I can help
that process along by posting, maybe not.
