It's a great advantage to have non-compiled programs on the system which can be edited: - Debugging packaged python programs - Customizing user interfaces - Understanding logic and parameters That's speaking as a developer and someone who does some sysadmin work. The overhead of a simple scripting language like Lua, awk, Python or Perl is minimal compared to the fork cost. You won't notice the difference between a Lua startup script and a C one.
