Krzysztof Kowalczyk notebook: Why Google should sponsor a faster Python VM

  • johnny_be_good · 1 month ago
    Google should just drop Python and create a web framework for C++. Maybe buy over Cppcms or Wt.

    Python is slow! And I am not comparing it with C or other compiled language. Python is supposed to be a very powerful language but yet it is not much faster than PHP.

    its the code you write johnny....not the language......you think google is so ignorant about python vs php that they chose python inspite of it being slow!!!!!!!!! python can be fast very very fast.........if you write huge algos in pure python it may be slow but if you can spare some time have a look at pyrex, psycho, psychotic.........check out on youtube for videos about these........they boost the performance of python to great extents...........
