Sure... if I knew Ada, and if it was relevant to the commercial games
industry.  But it isn't.  C++ has the industrial weight behind it and that's
terribly important to my business and long-term goals.  I'd drop any
consideration of Python in a second if I thought it was likely to disappear
over the next 25 years.

The typecasting in C++ is strong enough for my purposes.  And everyone will
agree it's stronger than what Python offers.
