[snip..] I am just saying : (1) be aware that "reversible source to source transforms" means that language differences can EFFECTIVELY be made invisible - turned to purely private choices (in the sense of "because there exists perfect automatic two-way translation between equivalent languages", NOT "because we don't exchange code written in incompatible languages"). (2) of course that frame limits language differences, but nevertheless it relaxes that limit relative to the current situation of "no differences", and please don't write it off without any effort to evaluate its possibilities. Something similar to your suggestions are already possible through third part extensions like EasyExtend or Logix. (Effectively implementing a separate compiler.)

Readability (one way to do it...) are a central part of the Python philosophy. This philosophy means that it is important that code written by one developer should be readable by others.

Your suggestions have little to no chance of making it into the core Python distribution.

All the best,
