Back in 2002, we made a hard decision between c++ (well established here) java (not as mature back then) and python (completely new to my company). The task was to do a complete rewrite of our control software running our fully automatic pallet conveyor systems. The architecture is three-tier; host (not our system), service with GUI (com uppwards and downwards plus supporting the operators of the plant) and PLC nearest the el-mech. We decided to go for python since we always could fallback on ansi c in case of performance issues. We have today no regretted this! We have extended the architecure since with handhelds and they are programmed with java due to lack of proper python possibilities (at the time). We have further programmed code generatord for the PLC code. and so on.. :o) Sure, c++ could have been used but not at the effort(lessness) we now experience.
