Good points were made. I never learned Python for the reason of how slow it is.

Python is not my favourite language, but I like it... Although behind other languages like Ruby, shell, Go, C, etc.

The points you raised about enjoying 'lower' languages are the reasons I love compiled languages. Also, I *love* C naturally, being a big GNU/Linux geek, but C is inherently unsafe and arguably inefficient due to undefined behaviour and unsafe memory management. This is why I love Go, because it combines the best from both sides of the aisle.

Long live compiled languages! Long live Golang!

I did forgot to mention that languages like C can be extremely useful when developing video games. If you used Python, you'd have to go through your whole game to test if you just made a bug, and then figure out you have no idea how to fix the problem. Or you might accidently break the whole game by forgetting to add something like a semi colon, and you'll never know because there's no compiler to identify where the error is coming from. While the code may not work the way you want, at least you don't have to wait for an error to be thrown that stops the whole program. And yeah I also love my compiled languages, but I'm always open to new languages. In the end, no one will ever really know what the best language is. Maybe binary  ...
