</div></div>Can you point to something specific that makes python unsuitable for a<br>
responsive GUI? I've seen unresponsive GUIs written with many languages,<br>
but it is generally a problem with the code not the language.<br>

</div></div></blockquote></div><br>How about experience? I don't know about programming or system specifics, but as a user, I have always found most programs written in python to be prone to latency in screen redraws and freeze-ups. You can test that on the FR - just try Mofi, switch to say the home screen, and switch back. You will be able to see how long it takes before text appears. I have seen this happen everywhere.<br>
<br>Just from an efficiency point of view, don't you think a compiled program may run better than an interpreted one on a system with limited hardware capabilities.<br><br>Anyway, why do I bother...<br></div>
