Have you considered using a mix of languages? For instance Python with C in areas that are performance critical. I'm seeing this used increasingly on scientific projects and I have heard no complaints. The reason I suggest a mix of languages is that, as you probably already know, writing in C slows development time and writing in C++ is like walking through a minefield where seemingly simple things explode in complexity. In my experience/opinion C codebases are more maintainable although the code probably took longer to write.
