I like the fact that the language syntax evolves at a slower pace than the library space. I think that's the right proportion. If you want to add new functionality to the Python ecosystem you don't need to add new syntax, instead it is often very easy to just go write a new function, class or module and make it available to the rest of the world. Nothing is stopping anyone from doing that today. Also nothing is stopping you from using a mix of languages, with some parts of a system written in Python, some in C, some in Lisp, some in Java, etc. Mix and match and pick the best tool for the role.
