I am genuinely perplexed by the fact that you don't seem to realize syntax is not just what you write, it's also what you read. Anything that makes code easier to read and understand is a win. Python is just as "worthless" as Snow by the metric you're espousing here, because the benefits of Python over well-optimized C are in simplicity of reading and writing, not runtime performance.
