C is a perfectly good language for the kinds of things it's meant for. It lets you get down close to the hardware while still using rational flow control and program structure, and being reasonably portable. There's very few mysteries in C. You never have to wonder what the lifetime of an object is, or be mystified by which of the 7 signatures of Foo.foo() are going to get called, or just what operation "x + y" is actually going to perform. If you maim yourself with a razor-sharp chisel, do you blame the chisel for being a bad tool? -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
