> python is gonna be the easier option 99% of the time

If python/go/C# is easier to write, why choose C? Fil-C removes C’s performance and interoperability advantages.

Python is easier to write for interview questions. It generally doesn't scale well (in terms of size of team and codebase).

TBH C# is probably a good default for a lot of projects, from a safety and performance standpoint (rust's big performance win over GC/JIT languages is more in the memory consumption than throughput, counterintuitively). Fil-C probably still has a pretty good edge on python's performance, though.
