One thing that comes to mind is that a language that prioritizes pedagogy would probably have a vastly different perspective on backward compatibility. And historically, that's a huge constraint on how "real-world" PLs can evolve in practice. Every language I've spent any amount of time with is either deeply encumbered by suboptimal design decisions on the past or has experienced extremely painful version transitions. A language whose first priority is pedagogy can presumably evolve much more freely. I don't know enough about Pyrets to say whether that is the case here.
