C and C++ has to be compiled.  This means more work to do a small
change, and it gets worse when you support many architectures.

I really don't see any reason to switch from the combination of POSIX
sh and Perl.  (I have an esthetic issue with Python, I simply find it
unreadable compared to Perl.  But please, direct flames on that topic
to me personally or preferably not at all.)
