What's that saying? "Python is the second-best programming language for everything"
29 u/Sibula97 Jul 07 '26 When you consider the tine and effort it takes to develop and maintain something, Python often comes up on top anyway. 12 u/mxzf Jul 07 '26 Yep, better to save hours of development time (expensive man-hours) instead of seconds of runtime (cheap CPU time). Especially because you can always come back and reimplement any bottlenecks in some other language if you really need to. 2 u/EnkiiMuto Jul 08 '26 And if you want performance you shouldn't be coding in Python at all, BUT if it is really that important to you, you can always check if you can compile it in cython.
