Those young-uns are also the same group who hold their nose when coding in
C, and are always clamoring for rewriting Postgres in Rust. And before
that, C++. And next year, some other popular language that is clearly
better and more popular than C.

And I agree with Robbert that Python seems like the best choice for this

Despite my previous posts, I am open to other languages too, including
Python, but the onus is really on the new language promoters to prove that
the very large amount of time and trouble is worth it, and worth it for
language X.
