The advantage of Python over C - to me - is in the higher order
abstractions it provides, not in pointless discussions of purity. Even
better, Python allows me to -mix- both C & Python together, to take
advantage of the strengths of each as appropriate.

Try writing something of complexity in Python. Then write the same
thing in C. -Then- make your decision which you prefer.
