I'm not sure if it really is my place to criticize design decisions of a language written by people that devoted their career to computer science
while I have only read some books out of boredom :)

At the moment dpaste is not working for me.

Regarding your right to criticize, if someone gives you a car that has upside-down door handles, you are right to criticize, despite you have only 16 years old and no degree in mechanical engineering :-)

And regarding the knowledge from the books, there was a nice story written by Asimov (it's a bit long and it's a bit obsolete, but perhaps we'll never see a movie about it):
