The language itself is not the issue, the implementations are wildly different in other ways

  The nbody sim at least is forced to use the same algorithm. It seems unlikely that an optimised pypy (non-BLAS) implementation beats an optimised C imp by 20x.

    That's because you assume an algorithm implemented on top of the C implementation of python is equivalent to a C implemention of the algorithm. You don't understand how CPython works.

      Try to explain the 20x without resorting to personal attacks on me.
