How about refugees from other languages? Your suggestions only make Python
worse -- hardly a commendable course of action.

The point of having different languages is to have different ways of doing things. Certain mindsets do better with
Python's ways, others do better with JS's ways. That doesn't mean we should have the languages converge into the same
thing.
Aside: your suggestion that anyone who likes the philosophy of Python and doesn't want to incorporate features from
other languages that are contrary to it is just old and set in their ways is offensive. Such assertions weaken your
arguments and your reputation.
