Is it just me, or did this go from "why scratch" to, "RAWR PYTHON > C!!!!!"?

Language selection is an issue of personal choice when it comes to MUDs. We are not developing heavy or professional software that will be distributed to millions. And even if we were, language selection often is determined by the type of software you are making. C and C++ are used in intensive software such as professional games. C#, Java, Python, etc. are more often used in utility applications, where development speed and patch releases are a much bigger deal.

Can we please return to the original topic, now?
