No scripting language is really _fast_ (the FAST parts you'll be better
off keeping in C/C++ -- or you may want to move to high-order but
fully-compilable languages such as O'Caml).  But Python IS very easy,
powerful, and handy at the utmost, on both Linux and Windows; and
it interfaces well to C, and even better to C++.
