      Claim: "In fine print, compared to python," Reality: In bold call out: Up to 2.6X faster than Objective-C

        Not sure what your point is but Apple also claims up to 8.4x faster than Python: https://i.imgur.com/CZ6vTZV.png https://i.imgur.com/CZ6vTZV.png

          My point is we shifted from "compared it to Python in fine print" to "compared it to Objective-C and Python in bold focused callout". People are jaded, we can argue that's actually the same thing, that's fine, but it is a very different situation.

      As a Python developer, I am happy that Apple mentions Python and acknowledge its existence.
