Object oriented??  I hope not.. I got out of serious programming just before that became popular..
Well, the good OOP languages (i.e. C++) just have it as a delicious garnish on top of a perfectly suitable procedural language for easy, clean packaging of structs and their associated functions. It's the ones that try to force you into using classes for everything whether or not it suits what you're doing because this is an OOP language, dammit! that are to be avoided.

(Can't speak for how E is in this regard, but if it's C-based I'm betting it's pretty easy-going about it all.)

However we have also put together quite a sweet little algorithm for an 80s version of Oblivion style '3D' renderer too and may put this either into a 3D RPG
Well this makes me tingly with anticipation :D

How does Python perform on the Amiga? Even on a multi-GHz PC, it's not exactly blazing fast...
