If one wants one's extensions to be "appreciated by the community"
(the Python one), you're probably right that C is one's only hope.  If,
on the other hand, one cares about productivity or cross-language
use, the picture is different.  I develop in C when I must (because I
hope for an extension to be used widely), in C++ when I can (because,
with Boost Python, it makes me 2 or 3 times more productive than C
with the Python API's) or when I need my extension to be used
cross-language (because C++ with ATL is my most productive way
to develop COM servers -- people with Delphi or Eiffel backgrounds
will no doubt be more productive in their favourite languages... Haskell
or O'Caml are not fully mature yet for COM dev't, IMHO, though they
ARE advancing very fast).
