> How many teams actually decide against using Python because it's "slow"? At least mine. Also because of the typing. It's probably improved, but I remember being very disappointed a few years ago when the bloody thing wouldn't correctly infer the type of zip(). And that's ignoring the things that'll violate the specified type when you interface with the outside world (APIs, databases). > anyone who actually cares about efficiency is using C. Python is so much slower than e.g. Go, Java, C#, etc. There's no need to use C to get a better performance. It's also very memory hungry, certainly in comparison to Go.
