Considering that the same applies to GUI toolkits (while most
Perlites appear content with Perl/Tk), IDE's, web deployment
solutions (mod_python or mod_snake or webware or Zope or...
or maybe servlets with Jython, or IIS with Python in the
ActiveScripting mold, or...?), C++ extending and embedding
(C/API or Swig or CXX or Boost Python or ...?)... &c, &c...

...sometimes it looks like we've just moved TMTOWTDI from the
trivial language/core-library level (and even there, there
might well be debate:-) up to architectural choices... not
saying this is a BAD thing, mind you, but...
