It makes sense that the official, primary and by far most popular implementation of one of the most used languages in existance is not well optimized?
(edit: I'm just being polemic about your statement here. CPython is reasonably optimized within the constraints it currently has).
- nodja 10y agoIt only makes sense because it's python. A language where style is part of the syntax, and readability is one of the things that many libraries focus on , the so called being "pythonic". It makes sense that the reference implementation mirrors the same patterns than the language itself.
