And even more important than raw development-phase productivity is how
quickly bugs that surface in a production environment are fixed. I
would assume that pythons traceback dump would give it a 100x speed
boost compared to C++'s protection faults... after a month of running,
and with not-fine-grained-enough log entries.

Automatic traceback is god. With C++ (VC++ & windows), I don't even
get an automatic description of the exception thrown. With quake &
such obvious C++ projects, I could hardly care less but in a mission
critical environment...
