I agree. We need to abolish all languages but one, and let that one language be at once a natural language, an algebraic language, a programming language, and unprintable language (because let's face it, once you do the rest, most people will demand profanity). Once again, when there is a need, the solution can be found. http://esolangs.org/wiki/Ook! This is a very simple language; anyone could learn it in a day. It is also an expressive language - it can be mathematically proven to be as powerful as any other on the market (more so than many!). Rick, don't fork Python; fork Ook and be the true savior of the world! Chris Angelico -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
