At the end of the piece I suggest that a "ideal" language would be one
which has the paradigmatic richness of Python but whose runtime execution
environment was reaslized in something very sleek and light like Forth.

The overal article is about the dangers of locking into a single programming
paradigm (like OO) for everything and that real world problems require
multiple *simultaneous* paradigms for reasonable solutions.  I think
Python is almost alone in trying to incroporate that very idea in
the language.
