  You exposed your point of view. You did not show that the people who
  are concerned is wrong.  The problems remain the same.

  My opinion: the Python adoption was a mistake. In any case, it's too
  late for that, so let's stop worrying about Python.

  BTW, that "if Python did, Mono should do as well" doesn't make
  sense.  Will we do the same with Java? anc C++? and ObjectiveC? Ada?

  How many languages and extra platforms do we need to keep everyone
  happy?
