Well, in that case, you'll love my new operating system, written in 100% 
pure Python:

[start code]
print("this is an operating system")
[end code]

I expect it to rapidly make Windows, Linux and OS-X all obsolete. Bill 
Gates and Steve Jobs, look out!

Surely your attitude towards usefulness vs. readability will depend 
strongly on whether you are intending to *use* the code, or *maintain* 
the code?
