I am here only to poke on you ;-)

But I can't replace Emacs Lisp with something else. I have got
interface and it is sufficient, I need not think of plethora of
elements. We manage employees, documents, accounting, reports of all
kinds, I mean it is huge. I have switched from Perl to Emacs.

** Statistics 

╔════════════════════════╦════════╦══════════════════════════════╦═══════╗
║ Total number of people ║ 242546 ║ Total Hyperdocuments         ║ 62993 ║
╠════════════════════════╬════════╬══════════════════════════════╬═══════╣
║ People in last week    ║ 108    ║ Hyperdocuments in last week  ║ 216   ║
╠════════════════════════╬════════╬══════════════════════════════╬═══════╣
║ People in last month   ║ 261    ║ Hyperdocuments in last month ║ 841   ║
╚════════════════════════╩════════╩══════════════════════════════╩═══════╝

All that above is managed through Emacs interface.

So if Python is better, it is for me personal issue, not technical
issue. I have got no oversight and capacity to measure what is better.
