> falsehoods about performance and optimisation regarding software and interpreted languages in particular. At this point, I think this argument will fail to convince many. There are far too many people who have gotten 10x, 100x or even higher speedups by simply converting Python to other languages. That is without even trying to optimise the code much. CPython running idiomatic Python code is just slow, no amount of handwaving will change that.
