Will this be better than Python? I'm still a programming tinkerer so I don't have enough knowledge to evaluate.
I think you mean "using" and in which case I assume you're saying it would be the only way to do it effectively but that the results might be hard to apply in practice and no one else has managed to do it so far?
If you meant "building" then I'd have to say you meant "you wouldn't learn anything as it's about applying knowledge, an engineering task, and not about learning.
Perhaps I misunderstood, it's late and I have had a drink ...
No. It is (was, actually) a research project, not a widely available general-purpose language, so python wins on most measures of being-something-ness, which I think is a pre-requite for being better.
Some of the ideas in it have already fed into c#, especially into LINQ. That was its job. Now, you can compare Python to C# 3.5 or later with LINQ, but that's a different kettle of subjectivity :P
