Python.....

So today I learnt Python (well the syntax and semantics) and I loved the simplicity it give the user...etc

But anyway, since it's an interpreted language and all how does it compare in terms of system resources and such with other languages such as C/C++ and JAVA.

I see an awful lot of python implemented utilities but I'm not sure if it's because of it's simplicity or something else.

Thanks!

Only CPython has the GIL restriction and apparently that's going away.

Meanwhile take a look at Stackless Python, it's awesome.
