You throw out a lot of these sorts of question, by which I mean questions that you either /do/ know the answers to or which you /should/ know the answers to. If a software engineering student asked me this sort of "challenge" question it would immediately become homework: come up with at least two scenarios in which a simplistic C bytecode compiler would be an unacceptable tool to use, and two in which Python with a trivial bytecode compiler would be an acceptable tool to use. In each case explain why. Anyone who could not would get marked down on the course. -- Ben.
