As a counterpoint:

Micropython seems to make embedded code more readable and bug free than Arduino C-based programs, judging from a few projects I looked into.

Yes, it would probably be a mistake to write a large distributed, high performance database (say, for a login system handling billions of users) in python, but many, if not most, projects never hit the wall you are referring to.

In that sense, I feel that writing something in the most scalable language (if such a thing existed) would just be premature optimization at the highest level.
