If you care about single % of performance, why are you using Python in the first place? You're likely losing 100x to more performant languages already.
- TekMol 3y agoBecause I care about elegance of code and developer productivity even more. And there is no other language which comes close to Python in these regards.
- pkolaczk 3y agoElegance of code is subjective and developer productivity is more a trait of a developer than a language (which means it is inherently subjective, e.g. in my case Python is among the languages I was least productive in; I find myself much more productive in Scala, Kotlin, Rust and even R for statistics).
