I actually use a blend of C & Python, C for doing the heavy lifting and Python for the rapid prototyping.

Most AI algorithms have clearly defined segments that are very CPU intensive, by only using C in those areas I get the optimal balance of development speed and execution speed.

Ever since I learnt Cython, this has been my preferred combination as well. I can't overstate enough how great it is to be able to get the rapid prototyping of Python combined with being able to offload the heavy stuff to C.
