I'm using Linux and searching for a good high-level language to use in
my projects. I don't have any special ideas, it depends on language. I
don't like the idea of using any interpreted language, but have heard so
much good about Python. I have used mostly C before and so it would be
best to give up my speed requirements.

I have thought of writing some parts of programs in Python (some kind of
library) and then be able to use it in C++/Ruby/anything else, if it is
possible.
