You are creating a false dichotomy

The goal is to provide a python-like scripting language.
Two of our guiding principles are the language should be like
Blender and the language should be like Python.

If you are familiar with Blender, names, the metaphors, 
data structures and operations of the language should be easy to grasp.

If you are familar with Python, the syntax of the language should
be similar.
