Perhaps the title should be "Why Python is good enough." Between this post and the preceding one (http://roscidus.com/blog/blog/2013/06/09/choosing-a-python-r...), the takeaway for me is that the author didn't find sufficient benefit in any of the candidate languages to justify switching an existing product--perhaps not even a new product.
It's true that Python can leave you with hidden crash bugs in unusual code paths, but the language brings so many benefits that it's easy to forgive this. And there seemed to be a vague concern about performance at the beginning of the article, but I didn't see anything substantive in that regard.
So yay, let's all just keep using Python. Back to work.
