That's a good point. I never really understood why GNU didn't use more Lisp, as the idea of "C for when performance is needed, Lisp for the rest" sounds great, but if tutorials weren't there that explains it. I learned programming later (~2010) and I remember Python being very easy to learn and install on Windows.
