Heh. I hadn't got this message at the time I sent my last one. Nor had
I even considered your preferred languages. You couldn't persuade me to
touch Java with a very, very long bargepole. C is my favourite language
of all time, and is likely to remain so. But for an app like virt-manager,
the development time advantages would almost certainly sway me to python,
even with the "find bugs at runtime" problems. I'm surprised to see anyone
advocating the opposite view.

I did, however, predict that :-)
