> The same criticism could be leveled at Python with regard to the GIL and JIT (or lack-thereof). Absolutely. Python lacks many things and what I wrote previously is exactly what I think about Python. There are lots of flaws and the supposed advantages of Python are getting less meaningful by the month. It only gets worse when you consider the big part of the community that refuses to actually move forward. In that sense, they're worse than the Perl community, because at least the Perl programmers had to wait an eternity for their new and improved language.
