- bergenty 4y agoYes it’s deserved but I’ve been in management for a while.
- aunty_helen 4y agoFrom your perspective then, python is 100x faster than c
- bergenty 4y agoWe don’t use python but you’re very articulate, Helen.
- calibas 4y agoC is faster than Python, but it's much more nuanced than saying Python is "100x slower". Try writing a program to open and parse a CSV file line by line in both languages. You'll see why people like Python. Also, because of FFI, it's not like the two languages are opposed to each other and you have to choose. They can happily work together.
