Compare out-of-the-box Python: a = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4

Which language has the lower barrier for entry? That should be a fairly important consideration for a language that is going to sit at the heart of an OS.
Huh? Why does mucking about in the heart of an OS need a low barrier of entry?
It doesn't. I was looking at it from the point of view of *scripting* the OS - which *should* have a low barrier for entry :)
Cheers, Nick.
