http://coconut-lang.org/ looks really interesting - it seems it is a patch exactly for parts of Python I am missing.

(Though, not sure if want to use another language just that case. Vide CoffeeScript and JavaScript; in this case JS absorbed the best pars of CS.)

    constructor(@x, @y) ->

would initialize @x and @y to the arguments. It makes writing records much nicer.
