What I like about Python is that it allows me to write native linux code without having to make portability compromises that plague, say, Java. I have select.epoll(). I have os.fork(). I have socket.TCP_CORK. The "textualization" of Python3 seems part of a conscious effort to make Python more Java-esque.
