python is both of these things ( albeit without {} ) with the additional
possible benefit of being able to bring in outside source code without a
need for something like APE

I love scripting languages.

I get the same feeling of beauty from python that I get from plan9

Writing a user level fs in C is not as simple as I'd hoped it would be. I
have managed to get one to fly but I'm sure it's cumbersome (it's
temporarily broken and I don't know what I changed 3 months ago to make it
not work).

It's frustrating to have ideas for file systems but then be bogged down in
an implementation that you know would be easier if it was a bit more
abstract.
