You're right. There should be a break between thoughts here... since
the rest of the complaints don't apply to Python either:

+ VB has the same problem as AREXX and Python, in that it's a procedural
+ and algebraic language. In addition and it's got no spec, it's tied to
+ the Windows ABI, and the only implementation is tied to a proprietary
+ operating system, and there's no source available.

Apologies. I didn't mean to tar REXX or Python with such a broad brush.
