Your opinion is valid, Tom :)

My largest program was in Python, and I would guess it ws about 20k lines of code. My largest program in C++ was in the same order of magnitude, but I was only maintaining a small part of it — I'd guess about 5k lines of code. Luckily for me, the C++ program didn't have many dependencies, and let's just say we didn't encounter significant cross-platform issues...

I think I get your point; I might be a little biased after all!
