Languages are not implementations.
Algorithms are more productive of speed than language choice.
It is highly likely that in five years, Python code will run competitively as fast as C, assuming that either language is still in use.
- alnayyir 18y agoPython code will run competitively as fast as C <--- that's highly unlikely that will happen in 50 years, let alone five years. Have you been keeping track of programming history at all? Lisp isn't as fast as fortran or C, and it's been around for 50 years. You're delusional, I'm sorry.
- MaysonL 18y agoWell... we'll have to agree to disagree - and you really should check out the state of the art in Lisp compilers these days. PS - I've been programming since before Lisp was a teenager.
