In the ‘00s I found a python/C combination very effective. All control in python, compute in C and the class mechanism easily tied things together. I would recommend this for any new heavy cpu development as the needs for each portion are so different.

Right, that's one of the architectures for complex programs: use a scripting language for parts and a systems language for other parts.

Video games are a great example. You'd like a level designer to be able to edit scripts that control arbitrary things about the game play, but you also need a performance and GFX pro to program other parts.

The way I hear it frequently is: declarative shell, imperative core.
