Uh oh, my ulterior motives have been discovered! I'm aware of Erlang, but I don't think it's there yet. For one thing, it's not pretty enough. It also doesn't have the community support that a mainstream language needs. I'm not saying it'll never be adequate, but I think that making python into an Erlang competitor while maintaining backwards compatibility with the huge amount of already written python software will make python a very formidable choice as languages adapt more and more multi-core support. Python is in a unique position as its actually a flexible enough language to adapt to a multi-threaded environment without resorting to terrible hacks.
