I don't think von Neumann hardware plays a role here. I think the data model is inherent in Python/Java/Lisp regardless of the underlying formalism (which could be SKI combinatory calculus or any other Turing-complete formalism). > And although they are equal as in '==' they are not equal as in > behavior, memory usage etc, a fact that can only be elucidated by > box-n-arrow diagrams. That's what I meant when I asked if you can get Python without getting something like C first. It seems the answer is, you probably can't.
