<pre wrap="">This perspective doesn't grant enough credit to the significance of C
in general, and the C ABI in particular, in the overall computing
landscape. While a lot of folks have put a lot of work into making it
possible to write software without needing to learn the details of
what's happening at the machine level, it's still the case that the
*one* language binding interface that *every* language runtime ends up
including is being able to load and run C libraries.

Ah, now I understand. We need to add {} to C. That'll make it,
right? ;)<br>
<br>
Seriously, there are also other significant influences that fit
better here: template engines. I know a couple of them using {} in
some sense or another. C format strings are just one of them, so I
wouldn't stress the significance of C that hard <b>in that
particular instance</b>. There are other areas where C has its
strengths.<br>

<pre wrap="">P.S. It's also worth remembering than many Pythonistas, including
members of the core development team, happily switch between
programming languages according to the task at hand. Python can still
be our *preferred* language without becoming the *only* language we
use :)
