because there is a ton of existing python code that people find a lot of value in, and that no one wants to abandon. the return on investment for making python better is insanely higher than that on porting hundreds of millions of lines of code to another language.

    that’s why raku has modules like

      Inline::Python 
  Inline::Perl5
