Quite true, good point.
2)- Python is a natural language for learning basic scripting, but can

I consider this to be a good question. I just started to learn Python
and I like it. I don't know about Lisp however...
The problem, IMHO, in creating a new language is that we are losing code
reusability... we will be able to port python applications very easily...
