Extending a language comes at a cost, too. A language with 1000 superb features will be much harder to use than one with 10 or 20. In that spirit I suggest a thought experiment: which two features would you kick out of Python to get your new one in? Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
