You should be able to vaguely claim that Python and Java are inherently slower than Rust/C/Whatever. I agree claiming that it is 100x slower is a bit unfounded, but it's pretty easy to go find existing benchmarks that show results like this.
- kapolos 4y agoYes, it's exactly as you say. I did search for benchmark comparisons and bumped into one that had 2 orders of magnitude difference. But naturally, isolated benchmarks can't encapsulate the whole picture because there's a world of difference between testing how fast a loop runs and performance in production.
- codedokode 4y agoI guess that arithmetic operations are not very slow in Python, but if you use objects, then Python performs complicated lookups for every field or method access.
- kaba0 4y agoOne is not like the other. Java is much much closer to C/Rust than Python is to Java.
