> Yes; with Python, you can both run directly from source without wasting time compiling after each change
As I said, interpreted languages have their uses, of course. My initial point was about delivery to end users.

What makes us successful as software engineers, in the end (and IMHO), is the efficiency level at which we reach our goals. To my eyes, when deliverability is the goal, then a language where native (cross)compilation is first class citizen is the most efficient path. But don't get me wrong, Python is really great and still a good choice for that scenario (I'm thinking of dropbox, for ex).
