The phase of the program I discussed was in the initialization, where there
are no real reasons to choose Python over C.
I have written and still use my own native exe compiler for my own PLD2
language (another l-o-ng talk?). Suffice it to say, learning curve for a
compiled program is not a problem. Memory is not an issue since PLD2
memory is laid out statically.
I could do C and have done some modest coding with it. It is impossible to
program for Windows without being able to constantly read C. I am not fond
of the typing. Over 95% of types are 32 bit integers. More than once, the
correct response to a type error is to cast the type (i.e. ignore).
I could use typing in ctypes but I didn't so I don't have to deal with typing.
