Then you need to scale and your library isn't actually built in C... or only runs on 2.x (or 3.x) and the cocoon seals up and you can't escape... you scream but no one can hear you... you look for help, desperately clawing at cython, numpy, jython, pypy and C extensions -- they all require you to leave your cocoon far behind... you struggle and break free... suddenly you are exposed to the big wide world outside of your cocoon... you look back and realize the cocoon was just a cleverly disguised prison. /hackernewsstorytime

hahah well I am very comfortable with C and other languages, but I love python for it's versatility and ease of use! It has some very expressive one liners that are surprisingly coherent for being one liners.
