Isn’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.
