If nothing else, the codebase for this has shown me how relatively painless it is to hook into external library code within DLLs from Python. I’ve been using Python for what I’d describe as normal work for years and didn’t know it was that simple, given its a use case I’ve not encountered yet in my work life.

Perl is the defacto standard for this kind of stuff. It's easier here because the DLL is Objective C instead of pure C.
Has Perl been the defacto standard for anything in the last 10 years?
Yes, it's still the defacto standard for writing exploit or vulnerability POCs.
Not that I’ve ever seen - the mantle has passed to Python (or Ruby) a while ago.
