Speaking as someone who's been playing with Python on the PalmPilot, I would very much like to second this point. Having files and network ops be fundamental just means more pain for someone trying to port the languages to the PalmPilot, and I consider that a bad thing. Perl on the PalmPilot, on the other hand, would be a good thing. Even if it only allowed me to run precompiled Perl scripts, it would still be pretty good.
