Why not have single language for all kinds of work? And why not spend some tiny part of those money dedicated to improving hardware by 2x-3x, when there are people [0] claiming Python run-time has potential to 1000x speed-up? I know, I know, it will make manual optimization job nonsense, and everyone needs a job nowadays it seems...
