My point was, why bother, when you can use a language that doesn't need to be fixed in the first place? Because I'd rather have to add on Moose (something I can fix while remaining compatible with other libraries) than use a language in which variables automagically spring into existence (which I can't fix). Worse than that, while I'm sure that new Python 2 classes and metaclasses allow someone to write a better object system for Python, no one would ever use it. Thus my main non-syntactic gripe with Python is that the things I most want fixed either I can't fix and still have Python or no one in the Python community would ever support, because of the peer pressure to hew to one obvious way to do things.
