>A new, general-purpose, beginner-friendly language focused on readability

Sounds great. What made Python so beginner-friendly and readable? Most of the "let's improve Python" gang I see can't begin to answer that - by their metrics, the language must be a failure.

Beginners have the advantage of not thinking "this is the best way to do it because that's how C/C++/Java do it".
