I think (someone please correct me if I am wrong) that most of portage
is actually implemented in python. The actual merge process is shell
script, but things like dependency resolution and so forth should be
all python.
I don't speak much python.
And python is actually pretty quick. Not nearly as fast as C, but
easily fast enough for this kind of work. I think you would find the
biggest gains would be from using more efficient algorithms and data
storage, rather than re-implementing parts in another language.
Yeah, you're most likely right.
