> Oh, I've heard "Python is slow" from Node folks, Java folks, Scala folks (in terms of productivity) I have hard time believing Java folks made an argument on productivity unless you meant for that parenthetical statement to be only applied to Scala. Regardless productivity is a far more complicated than raw speed (particularly if you get into maintenance as some languages are easy to pump out code but harder to maintain... oh perl.. the pain...). And yeah I have seen the C++ folks complain about Python but this in my experience has been video game programming which is clearly not the domain the author is in or talking about (I think given the microservice discussions). Hence why I would like to know more about these folks complaining.
