Lots of people use Python for tasks that are not CPU-bound. Scalable web-whatever and scientific computing aren't the whole world.

- apendleton 13y agoEven scalable web-whatever is often IO-bound... of my several apps in production, there's only one where CPU is a serious concern, and I run that one on PyPy. cPython is fine for the others.
- stcredzero 13y agoI'll go so far as to say that we haven't done enough with making things fast on multicore processors except with IO-bound tasks. The current architecture of multicore processors stinks for achieving anything but the "embarrassingly parallel."
