Well, my own preference goes to Python, which

- has a syntax I prefer a lot over C
- while being an interpreted language, manages to be reasonably speedy,
unlike Java
- has a fair amount of predefined library objects you can use to access
C
POSIX system routines

but I do recognize that low-level stuff definately should be
coded in C. Now, as to just what "low-level" means ...

Best regards,
Alan Ward
