>cPython is necessarily slower and uses more memory than C for most tasks, and that's because cPython is implemented in C. You couldn't expect a new programming language that was implemented in Python to be faster than Python, either. You are probably thinking of purely interpreted languages because for compiled languages this is not true. You could write a compiler for a new statically typed language in Python and that language could be orders of magnitude faster than any Python implementation.
