- ntoshev 17y agoIn the case of a full text search engine, you really need that performance. I'm not sure clarity and performance of code are inherently conflicting requirements; in any case the author wouldn't have this gap in performance between the two versions if he used C++.
- tdoggette 17y agoWhich is why you don't use Python where performance is one of the biggest priorities. I'm a big fan of Python, but it's not for everything.
