The issue is not only that print is bad but that the interpreter is
good for learning and trying out.

Are these two really unconnected. Lets see... One can

- use print without the interpreter
- use the interpreter without print
- use both

But can one use neither? [Assuming telepathy/ESP etc is disallowed]

So pushing beginners away from print can push them up the learning 
curve more quickly
