Not all code needs to process terabytes of data. I have code running that reads ~20 bytes, checks the internal status on an hashmap and flips a bit. Would it be faster in C? Of course. Would it have taken me much longer to write to achieve

Not necessarily. Just using a better optimized sort or hash algorithm can make a big difference. I was talking specifically of pure python code (except the python's standard library itself, where it really is unavoidable).

If the 1 second is spent waiting for IO, it will take 1 second in whatever language. But yes python is slow. However I've seen good python code be faster than bad C code.

I once saw him at a conference and he said curl even has an option to emit the C code to call libcurl and do the curl request you did. I wish I had known this before. However I mostly use wget from shell, and since I mostly work with python

Didn't apple also drop opengl support? It's not just a matter of recompiling the same source. It needs platform specific changes. Probably the investment isn't worth it for game makers, since apple might require them to do it

What are you talking about? gwbasic had a function to relabel all the lines. And the labels skip by 10 numbers exactly for the purpose of inserting lines. Then when you had hit the limit you'd ask the computer to relabel them in steps

When I used to be single I used both online dating and hitting on women. It was so much easier in person because there would be no other person trying to do the same. Online I was competing with thousands of people.

No there would not necessarily be a need for this. You could have alerts when an old account is using a new key that nobody has seen before, for example.
