The arguments should be being made the other way around. Status quo should not need to debate its own value; a proposed change needs to convince people of its worth. CPython is currently written in C, and anyone who suggests rewriting it has to be the one to submit evidence. (Or if not rewriting it, then whatever the change is. I'm really not sure what's being proposed - wholesale reimplementation? Permitting new modules to be written in C++? The ability to write extension modules in C++? In any case, it's been quite empty of supporting evidence.)
