Technically (not sure what you mean with this but with the context I will use it too as it seems to match with what I want to say) you could never talk about Python (the most common and original implementation) without making reference to C then.
And if you are not making reference to a specific implementation then the comparison does not make any sense.
- palata 4y agoIsn't there a difference between interpreting Python code with CPython (which I would call "Python") and running compiled C from Python (which I would call "C")? Then it kind of make sense to talk about " pure Python" (the interpreted one) and "wrapped C", doesn't it?
- dgb23 4y ago> you could never talk about Python (the most common and original implementation) without making reference to C then. Good. Because otherwise people would be mislead to think that Python itself is fast. The Python plus C combo has opposite tradeoffs in many dimensions.
