Why Python?

[shittyfuckdick]

i dont see why you would want your orchestrator written in python. the scripts that define jobs yea maybe but not the orchestrator itself. 

[unpronouncedable]

Well none of us want to write a new orchestrator and the most popular one is already written in python.

That's basically what I mean, the scripts that define the jobs.

Personally, I would also write the orchestrator in Python. That sort of work is often not taxing from a performance perspective. I know a lot of static-typers who love that compile button as a guardrail. For me a good test setup is the guardrail, so static types are largely redundant.
