I forwarded your question to some friends, here is one (very slightly edited) response.

If the application is a big one I would suggest a language that does simple and fast compiling (such as Java or C#). Some features like type strongly typed methods and collections are sometimes good to prevent bugs and understand them within the compilation progress (which won't apply to language like python). If the application is divided into lots of relatively small modules I would use python since it is a great and fast platform to quickly build such modules. If I'm not mistaken, Google and YouTube use python in a large portion of their application. (NASA are python lovers as well). Good luck, Adish
