I think python is a fine choice. the machines people are currently
talking about targeting have enough RAM to deal with python, and they're
becoming cheaper and more-powerful (and less-energy-intensive) all the time.
If you're comfortable in python, make it in python. If it becomes too
slow or too resource-hungry to run on a machine with 512MiB of RAM, get
help profiling it and optimize the hotspots.
Premature optimization is the root of all evil.
