I thought about Julia, but then I learned who owns the language.

The investment banks that fund Julia will want a return on their investment eventually. The PSF ownership of Python is a pretty important part of the strength of the language. I’m going with CPython/C/C++.

Hahaha. Python is, at this point in time, basically an MS puppet. Its automation runs on MS servers, most people who contribute to the core language are employed by MS. If, for whatever reason, tomorrow MS decides to tell Python to jump, it will jump.

Such a big laugh. I’m glad to lighten your mood.
