Does this show deficiencies of Python as a general purpose language?
- liveoneggs 3y agoI don't know if the world needs extra examples to prove that python is very slow but this is certainly one more
- mixmastamyk 3y agoThis company is rust-focused and they compete with fast implementations. Python has always leaned towards prototyping and reimplentation when performance is an issue. They also seem to have money for rapid development which trumps poor community projects.
- kzrdude 3y agoThat has been discussed before, same question for ruff, rye etc. Maybe it shows the challenges with using python for deployment and distribution of binaries. uv, rye they want to install and manage python, so they try to solve the bootstrapping problem - should a tool that installs python require python to be installed, etc?
