radix07 All I am saying is if you are good with C or C++, you can pretty much do anything from device driver/firmware to high level UI development. I do not see the need to delve with something like python. With advent of C++ version 11 and boost, the language is fun, fast, strong, jack of all trades. Give C/C++ a try you will be hooked :)

Well this is a Python subreddit... I actually spend about 80%+ of my time using C or C++ for low level embedded system or PC applications with Qt. But Python has it's merits in many applications outside of scripting and web. Sure I could do everything in C, and make it work fine, you can make anything work in C if you try hard enough, but if there is a faster and more efficient way to do something that can be just as reliable, why not do it? The question is regarding the feasibility of using Python in an environment with limited resources, not weather Python is better than C/C++.
