Why should we care about arguments in a random HN discussion? We should care about arguments from people who have done substantial work.

Totals grouped by language (dominant language first):

  python:      578880 (54.33%)
  ansic:       475310 (44.61%)
  sh:            4073 (0.38%)
  cpp:           3847 (0.36%)
  asm:           1486 (0.14%)
  objc:           761 (0.07%)
  lisp:           502 (0.05%)
  pascal:         353 (0.03%)
  xml:            308 (0.03%)
  csh:             21 (0.00%)
Most of pure Python is in the stdlib.

OK, we can drop the HN comments. Since Stefan Hajnoczi is a substantial QEMU contributor, how would you respond to the arguments linked in http://blog.vmsplice.net/2020/08/why-qemu-should-move-from-c...?
