How does having API-less magic objects make this any better? I pass a
string message to your RSS object: does it create XML from it? does it
parse it as RSS XML and return a mapping? Or do I have to read its
code and/or documentation - like I currently do with the classes other
developers create - and gain an understanding from that?

How about backing up some of your claims of this brave new programming
future with actual examples and evidence? Or would you prefer we
listen to your gut feeling and ignore concrete research, as you
recently recommended to Jane McGonigal? If that's the case, I believe
there's a Python4K project which would benefit greatly from your
"radical" ideas.
