in thread [OT] Python vs R

That might be true. Perl6 deliberately borrowed a number of features from Python. But I don't think either Python or Perl6 is "100% class/object based inherently." I mean, they don't force you to put your code in a formal class definition like Java does. You can say that "every object has a class" in those languages, or equivalently "every value has a type," but that's trivially true of any language. Even a monotyped language like Perl1 where every value is a string.

The forced indentation thing is another manifestation of Python's "there's one way to do it" attitude.
