If there was sufficient interest in it, most performance issues could be solved. Look at Python or Javascript, big companies have financial interest in it so they've poured an insane amount of capital into making them faster.
- vips7L 10mo agoIsn’t python still the slowest mainstream language?
- Etheryte 10mo agoBeing slower than other mainstream languages isn't really a problem in and of itself if it's fast enough to get the job done. Looking at all the ML and LLM work that's done in Python, I would say it is fast enough to get things done.
- NetMageSCW 10mo agoAs pointed out already, most of that uses C code or GPU code to do the work and not slow Python code.
- cestith 10mo agoA pretty good portion uses Fortran code, too.
- chungy 10mo agoNo. Ruby exists.
- dragonwriter 10mo agoRuby is now faster than Python, last I saw a comparison, though it used to be the other way around.
- Rochus 10mo agoDo you think that "most performance issues" in Python are solved?
