I'm not sure how much I agree with this.  There's a fairly
large "Teach Scheme!" effort afoot, and frankly I'm not seeing
too many Lisp variants making headway lately.

Personally, I just want a usable, well documented language with
a robust library (so I'm not constantly re-inventing the wheel),
which has a fairly strong presence in educational institutions
as well as the corporate world.  I think this describes python,
I just wish a few more people did.
