Fair enough. I know fairly little about Jython, so I'll dodge that one.

However, as to other languages, this ignores the host of C examples
(including the native ones like dictobject.c and listobject.c) which
provide a huge bases for developing other extensions. If one is going
to extending CPython on Windows or any other platform, the preferred
language really is C. Other extensions will likely not be very appreciated
by the community.

Just IMO,
