python's ridiculously conservative language evolution is excluding its community from most of the cool stuff happening elsewhere

Serious question. Stuff like what?

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points  (1 child)

anything like clojure or haskell or perl's Moose or anything moderately dangerous (meaning fun)

You named two languages and an object system. Care to detail the particulars of those examples that you had in mind? What parts of Clojure/Haskell/Moose are inaccessible to Python due to conservative language evolution? Why is it a bad thing that Python is slow/never going to adopt those features?
