Is my main argument that Python would be terribly slow ? No. Don't confuse me with someone else. This is only one point.

And reusable components can be made to ease coding in asm, making it nearly as easy to work with as a high level language.
Does the language itself really matter that much ? No. When you know how to code, unless of severe design mistakes in the language it does not matter.

I am afraid there is none (not even assembler, actually, but at least this one is fast and gives small executables).
I tried to create mine, but all attempts failed.

You seem to be emotionally involved here. Yes i know what i am talking about.
But you are overestimating how much i may dislike Python. I don't dislike it more than any other language. I just don't agree to people saying it's a pure wonder : it ain't better than the others.

No, but you might eventually ask yourself why there are so many bloatwares today...
Remember that everything today is basically far, very far away, from theoretical max performance the machine is supposed to procure.

Yes but we have passed from one extreme to the other : now programmers just don't care at all and write horrors.

So something you like as a hobby, you'd dislike doing the same for a living ? It feels strange to me...

I won't answer to this. Wouldn't be polite

Considering the cpu architecture these have to run on, the answer is a big 'no'.
But if you can spend millions of $$$ to build a 68k-based handheld device, then i'd happily do asm on it.
