Yes, but coding *isn't that hard*.  Really.  My point is that rather
than talking, it's better to actually fire up Emacs or whatever and
actually try implementing an interesting idea.  

(Linus Torvalds once said in an interview that he was incredibly
arrogant in 1992 when he aimed at implementing an OS; if he'd known
how difficult the task actually was, he'd never have tried it.  I wish
we had more arrogant people in the Python community.)
