But I see little to no efforts from the core python team to address my needs as listed above. They seem mainly to focus on the core attributes and syntax of the language. Very little or no efforts are taken to improve the infrastructure around the language.
And then I read the following sentence by Van Rossum:
"In order to make type inferencing a little more useful, I'd like to restrict certain forms of extreme dynamic behavior in Python"
In the end, it's mindset which counts. And I think that mindset is going to be determine the way foreward for Python: more features, increased complexity, less dynamism. Lots of syntax crud, without addressing the need to improve the infrastructure around the language.
