Python is faster to write so obviously you'll see things built in Python first more often than the reverse. What's that quote -- "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool..."


Indeed. Python is faster to write and harder to maintain over the long run.

The "faster to write" advantage becomes less relevant if most code is going to be auto-generated.

The "harder to maintain" might still remain more relevant.


>harder to maintain over the long run.

First off, this is begging the question. Second, if you never get to a point where you need to maintain something, who won?
