Well, alright, since you asked...
Python is a pretty okay first language, with a tendency towards style enforcement, monoculture, and group-think. Python is more interested in giving you one adequate way to do something than it is in giving you a workshop that you, the programmer, get to choose the best tool from. So it works well for certain problems that can use an existing tool, but less well for other problems that require a machine shop to make a new tool. For instance, if you only want to think of your list processings as list comprehensions, Python 3 tends to enforce that culturally. If you want several ways to map over a list depending on which order makes more sense in context, Perl 6 will be more accommodating. If you want concurrency with a global interpreter lock, Python might suit. But if you want a concurrency model designed to scale to multicore/manycore, look to Perl 6, which avoids global bottlenecks and non-composable primitives, but instead borrows composable ideas from Haskell, Go, Erlang, and C# instead.

I mean, we can certainly stop developing Fedora, because of fear that fixing things might break apps we never heard of that rely on a very specific bug or misdesign in some very specific software. But I am not convinced that fear-driven development is really the best strategy to win the future...

At a 2013 technology conference, Google CEO Eric Schmidt tried to reassure the audience by saying that he was ‘pretty sure that information within Google is now safe from any government’s prying eyes’.
A more accurate statement might have been: ‘Your data is safe from governments, except for the ways we don’t know about and the ways we cannot tell you about.’ The other thing Schmidt didn’t say is: ‘And of course, we still have complete access to it all, and can sell it to whomever we want… and you will have no recourse.’
