Python is in production use in hundreds of thousands of organisations. It 
has been heavily used for over twenty years, in everything from quick and 
dirty one line scripts to hundred-thousand LOC applications. As well as the 
obvious OOP features, it includes features and idioms from imperative, 
procedural, functional and pipe-lining programming languages, with explicit 
influence from Pascal, C, Haskell, Dylan and Lisp, among others.

Yeah, "too pure and not practical". You're a funny guy.
