When I think of why Python is so far ahead of Perl in language design, I think it's simply that Python is the result of cautious design, and Perl is the result of exuberant design.
I think Python is in danger of becoming a large language - which isn't a good thing.
A great language, like Scheme or Python or even C, is a language that has a small, very useful core, and large libraries.
I'd very much like a live in a world where Jython and IronPython and MicroPython and Cython and Pyjamas can all catch up and implement Python 3.7, 3.8, and so forth.
