One might create a new dynamic functional+OO programming language, where small statements like print, assert, raise etc. all become functions and statements like while, for, with etc. become anonymous closures. I think Logix had gone once in this direction but was abandoned due to severe technical problems. So one might eventually revive this project with another more sound technical base. Personally I'm not sure it's worth a large effort and whether EasyExtend is the right toolkit at hand. So it's definitely not Guido who will revive it and also not me. Maybe some PyPy guys?
