Python also made lots of "wrong" decisions (indeed, it's chock full of
'em), and yet is _still_ very successful.  The real lesson is that a
language need not be perfect to succeed; you just need to be compelling
in _some_ way, not have any killer misfeatures, and be in the right
place at the right time.
