- mrtranscendence 5y agoI don’t think a full Scheme implementation is as slow as Python in general. What I’m hung up on is the claim that it’s so absolutely trivial to write a language implementation faster than Python that basically anybody at any skill level could do it in a weekend, and still have time for Sunday afternoon bocce.
