What happens when you compile your code into C, like how Vala is done, which now supports Python, Java and I think functional languages like Haskell and Clojure.

What happens when you can compile Python using LLVM for embedded targets like Cortex-M CPUs?

I like C as much as the next guy, but I know how deeply complex, verbose and difficult it can be to program and debug it.

I don't think Python is a craze, I think it's a fundamental philosophy to make a certain subset of computing more approachable and what is wrong with that.

I can do some very simple things in Python and it won't be overwhelming.

Just the building, linking, preprocessor process alone in C is what makes the language almost to difficult to use.
