"Python is it's easier to write readable code.", the holy grail of a programming language.

One of many, really.

My own personal favorite language -- Lua -- is also really easy to write readable code.

It also happens to run 3-100x faster than the equivalent Python, and has real coroutines. And easier C bindings.

There are other goals in programming language design than "make it pretty."
