C++ raises the bar too high for users IMHO. In fact i feel a bit the same about PyGobject too but I haven't used it much and more importantly there is no other option anyways.
The problem we are talking of is not a language problem per say - it's a library problem. It just so happens there are three libraries that must change at the same time. Machinekit Devs felt the same as you and so they coded there QT stuff in C++ AFAIK - so certainly can be done. Since I have spend about a year coding QTvcp stuff based on python - I'm not about to change now :) What would be good to code in C or C++ is a new modern openGL Gcode graphics display. Then we could add python bindings to it and have the best of both worlds.
