Sincerely, at this point (Dec 2015) I feel like python is well too far along to be buried. As you state, if something better comes along I too would welcome it, but, and correct me if I'm wrong, python has been around for 20+ years, I don't see it being buried anytime soon.

Yeah, I meant "not long" as in 20-30 years from now. It's definitely got a lot of momentum. But ultimately, we can do better.
