Yes, the color of the spoon DOES matter. In fact, the color of the spoon (the syntax and expressiveness of the language) is probably why Python won out over Perl; it is certainly why I switched somewhere in the late 90s. Also... If your niche language isn't well supported by those who build language bindings for libraries and systems, fix that by making it extremely easy to create language bindings. If building a Python-to-Your-Language bridge is the only way to achieve this (it isn't) then build that.
