I'm an unabashed enthusiast for high-level languages that require complicated runtimes and tooling. I thank the heavens sqlite is written in C and if anything is to ever supplant it, I hope that's then also written in C.

What, you don't want to try and figure out how to embed the Erlang VM into your Python project? ;-)

EDIT: Jokes aside, Rust sounds like the most plausible alternative, though it still lags C due to being LLVM-only, whereas C has gcc and... others.
