10 Reasons to use Python 3

Remember the C to C++ resistance.
In the end it turned out that C was best for certain things, like embedded code, or drivers
and C++ for others
The difference with the python 2, python 3 resistance is that I think in the end the clear winner
will be Python 3 (unless you're the author of a certain book).

C -> C++ is not the same as Py2 -> Py3.  I got up to speed on py2 but switched to py3 as soon as i finally understood the string vs. bytes issue enough to use it.  but i stayed with C and never went to C++ for anything.  to me, C -> C++ is like Py -> Perl.

When you do GUIs you have to use "object" techniques to keep it manageable. So it's either built-in with C++ or you have to fake it in C. And the C++ compiler will catch errors that C won't catch...
