I don’t know about others … but I’m not using Python for execution speed.
Typically the biggest problem in a program is not 100 million calls of len(x) == 0. If it was, the interpreter could just translate that expression during parsing.
Assuming an equivalent package is produced, what’s the maintenance cost (factoring in coder availability) difference between the Python vs faster language implementations?
^^ therein lies the rub
Reminds of the expression, premature optimization is the root of all evil
if not swimming in funding, might be a darwinic move to choose the faster language and have to code everything yourself from scratch
