And then we're back to the question of specific problem domains.  You did
better in your problem domain; I don't see any reason why I'd do better in
3D graphics for what I'm working on, because I know what my dominant costs
of development are and aren't.  Basically, I'd have to hear from a 3D
graphics guy working on similar problems to mine to believe otherwise.

Python's great.  Please don't believe it's the tool for every job, or a
value add for every job.  It isn't.
