I wrote SRFI-119, not because I want Scheme to become more like Python, but because I want it to *look* more like Python while retaining its strengths. It isn’t necessary to sacrifice the strengths of Scheme to become as easy for new programmers as Python. However it does require accepting that a large part of the utility of any language lies in its libraries: The best language for any job is the one which provides the solution off-the-shelf. SRFIs could give Scheme such solutions, and the flexibility of Scheme would allow making these solutions much more elegant than what can be created with Python. But someone has to actually do that: Creating libraries with consistent style which provide to the application developer what Scheme already provides to the language developer. Best wishes, Arne
