Thanks, Yary. I was trying to suggest that at least the major shortcomings of Python need to be addressed specifically to bolster the argument for schools to change their current practices to use Perl 6 which will provide the needed attributes the CS professor feels are needed. I believe I can find the original letter in the ACM article if that would help. . Best, -Tom
