    They can’t:

    To do-so would break everything-established out there…

    That is why switching languages, which KEEP fundamental-mistakes ( like having wrong-bones in an organism: it’s a for-life thing ) & just keep having to work-around everthing, while the mistakes keep accumulating…

    The mistakes in Python’s architecture prevent it from EVER working as efficiently as Julia … & there’s nothing they can do to fix that.

    The mistakes made in Julia make me want to scream, & I’m not even a useful programmer ( the inconsistent parameter-sequence paradigm, pioneered in C, has been carried-on in Julia. Humbug ).

    The book “Focus”, by Al Ries, identifies that it’s consistent that incumbents are blindsided by evolution.

    “Aspirin’s position as THE over-the-counter painkiller is secure.” … until Tylenol came around, & wiped it,

    then Tylenol/acetomenophen got nuked by Advil…

    C&C++ are getting nuked by Rust, gradually.

    Python OUGHT be nuked, by Julia.

    Class-hierarchy-oriented-programming ( which is more-brittle than true OOP ) ought be nuked by Functional programming.

    IF you begin making a leopard with the skeleton of a hippopotamus, THEN … you’re screwed: that can’t ever ever ever work right, right?

    Mistakes multiply into each-other.

    To make the perfect programming-language, you’d have to make NO mistakes in its architecture, its patterns, etc, ALL of the fundamentals would have to be wrongness-free…

    Which is why there simply isn’t such a thing, yet: nobody’s done the mind-fixing to be able to make them capable of not-making-mistakes at that scale, see?

    Remember Norton Utilties?

    Peter Norton was a former Zen monk.

    His seeing the right-answer was partly the result of all those hours sitting in meditation.

    You can’t break wrongness/brokenness from programming, without 1st breaking it from one’s-own-mind, right?

    It’s actually a 2-prong battle, not a single-prong one…

    but who is going to pay anybody to develop their mind AND their code, both, together, for years?
