The main problem I imagine is as the platform/codebase matures, there may be compatibility issues as the compiler changes, as the underlying hardware changes, etc. This is something that is well hidden by a language like Python. I remember having to support a cross-database and cross-platform C/C++ server back in the day, and the maintenance was a nightmare. Having the luxury of virtualizing your hardware makes this step a lot easier, that's for sure.
