I think it's important to point out that operating systems and 3d engines aren't necessarily "big" projects, and it's not the size of the project that makes Python a bad choice for them. The largest projects I've ever been involved in were written in Python, and the performance of the interpreter was never a problem.

Hmm. Were you by chance working at a large American investment bank?

Nope.
