The TL;DR is "Yes, Python is slow but this is why is doesn't matter, in these scenarios where it being fast doesn't matter".
And:
"Python is by far the fastest to write, cleanest, more maintainable programming language I know ... I rarely feel Python slows me down, and on the other side I constantly marvel at how fast I code with it compared to other languages."
In other words, "I don't know much about anything else other than Python."
What a pointless article.
- exceptione 2y agoThat sounds harsh, and I don´t know the author, but I agree for sofar as I think that Python is in the PHP spot now. The low barrier for entry is what they have in common. I remember that as a beginner everything outside my first language was a bit scary, so for some it is an emotional matter. Trying to bolt on typing or making it a bit less "wasteful" is (although a fun exercise or probably necessary for some that have invested too much into it) ultimately a sign that you should move on to (dare I say) more apt ecosystems. That is ok, part of growing as a developer. Just take with you what you have learned.
