Speed is an issue in many domains, for example graphics applications and games, embedded systems and scientific computing.

  Yes and Python is fast enough for many of those. It’s very rare that the speed of Python is an actual bottle neck that cannot be worked around and must be replaced in lieu of its effectiveness

    No it's not? At least not raw Python. Python calling C, C++ or Fortan could be fast enough but not raw Python.
    • aprdm 5y ago
      Yes it is. Having worked in both embedded system and computer graphics there's a lot of python flying around.

        I'll admit that I'm really surprised. I imagined it was used more as a glue/prototype language than anything.
