Even worse, tom's-a-cold, the post is confusing a language definition with its implementation. Python is a language definition. CPython and JPython are implementations of that definition. Python for.Net is an implementation of that language.
CPython is a scripting implementation.
A Python for.Net compiler exists.
OTOH, C is typicallly implemented as a compiled language, but C interpreters do exist (CTerp).
Anyone else here get a laugh over someone complaining about their poor choice of computer equipment while whining about an author who used a typewriter for his first few works?
As for being published... a friend recently got his work published... self-published. And in doing so he said to me, "I think I just write the kind of novel that people don't read anymore." And to some extent, he's right: it's not a bad novel, though I have critiqued it and suggested what I thought would be improvements.
There are novels that were great back in their day, but no longer appeal to the reading public. You should realize that even if you consider your work brilliant NOW, it may not last. So keep writing.
