Why *not* another language?  Of the ones you mentioned, only C and C++
are freely available and widespread over multiple platforms -- and they
are very different from python and solve different problems.

(Your mileage may vary.  I don't care about GUIs (although you have a point
there about non-native Windows GUIs being painful), and I don't care to
learn anything I cannot apply under Unix.)
