It will be nearly impossible to find someone who disagree with him getting this award IMHO. That's so well deserved. Slow clapping time here.

- jokoon 9y agoMmmmh I don't disagree, but python is a little slow. Python is my favorite language, but I wish it was faster.

- fhood 9y agoCorrect me if I am wrong, but I believe that interpreted vs compiled has far more to do with python's speed then abstraction in this case. Also the post you linked literally states that abstraction doesn't necessarily mean slow.
- mirashii 9y agoIf making a language compiled is a magic bullet for speed, why isn't every language compiled? Because they have different levels of abstraction that lend their implementation to compilation or interpretation. You're just citing a specific example of one of the tradeoffs made in the language design that falls along those three axes.

- drallison 9y agoPython is an open source project with well defined rules for evolution. If you want it to be faster, make it so (following the rules).
