That's so true. We all know and harp on C's faults, but overlook the 
overwhelming stuff that C got *right*. C was the first really usable 
high level language.

I've heard from some people who should know that one thing that has 
consistently held Python back from adoption is the whitespace thing.

As long as I have any influence on the matter, D is not going to adopt 
that feature of Python.
