I prefer a single language as opposed to a creolization of two.
With the possible exception of Lisp, I find it hard to think of a language
that's still alive and not the creolisation of (at least) two other
languages. They all inherited from each other, sometimes right from the
start ("lessons learned") and always during their subsequent life time.
I am not talking about language influences. Cython effectively requires
two separate languages that interoperate. The end result is a mix
of two code written in two separate langauges. That is not a single
language solution.
I don't really agree with the word "separate", and especially not "two
codes". I think of Cython more as Python with the addition of C data types,
integrated by a smart compiler. So the language actually is Python, it's
just that you can apply it to a broader set of data representations.
