(only a physicist) but if you *need* a bytecode interpreter on top of the CPU interpretation, it's an interpreted language to me. I've had such a discussion about TeX already, and my personal conclusion was that you can defend almost any opinion in that area. However, one should ensure that

effectively you would have changed Python. Maybe I misunderstood something because I could not follow all of Kay's text but I think one should not change Python or create a look-alike to allow for better implementations. The language should fit my brain rather than an implementation.
