I have no love for that python disaster called IPS.
I think that conceptually, IPS is very good. Of course, it's silly to implement
system software in an interpreted language like Python. In time, if OpenSolaris
survives, hopefully someone will rewrite pkg in a more appropriate language
like Haskell, for example. But that is not at all a high priority, since
although the current pkg is annoying, it works.
I'm not certain what criteria you're using to determine what language is
appropriate to write system applications in, but I can assure you that
choice of programming language will not magically make a project's
resulting software better or faster simply because of the language.
Applications can be good or bad regardless of the language they're
written in.
