I love UNIX but I think on this point I'm with the haters. Practically speaking, as an individual, I don't have the needs of the DMV. For my personal use I'm combing through pip-squeaky data file downloads and CSV's. So even though using Python or some other language causes a gigantic performance hit, it's just the difference between 0.002s and 0.02 seconds: a unit of time/inefficiency so small I can't ever perceive it. So I might also well use a language to do my processing, because at my level it's easier to understand and practically the same speed.
