That's fair. I wasn't really defending the idea of using python for prototyping. Personally I'd just start with C# for pretty much any project and try to do it

That's fair. I wasn't really defending the idea of using python for prototyping. Personally I'd just start with C# for pretty much any project and try to do it right from the beginning.
