This language isn't an attempt to solve Python's problems. At best it's an attempt to get around some minor speed bumps I personally experience when writing short Python scripts. I did not create this language with the expectation or hope that even a single other person in the world would want to learn it, much less become proficient. Clojure is a great language! It's just that I, personally, need more mental effort to translate thoughts to code using prefix notation and other aspects of Lisp syntax, and decided that reducing that kind of mental effort for myself was a goal of this language.
