I have to admit, in half-following this discussion I've swung between
thinking "there's no way this is actually going to happen" and "what,
this might actually happen?"

Since it now looks like it really *does* have a decent chance, and
maybe another -1 has a small chance of tipping the balance: my
reaction to the proposal is also emotional. Visceral, in fact, to the
extent that I'd aim to read and write less Python if it became
commonplace.

I don't have arguments. I just have an instinctive "ugh, no".
