Heh, Python is slow: in order to write fast Python, you have to write in C and conform to the FFI.

I vastly prefer to use tools which don't come misshapen out of the box, personally.



Different tools for different jobs. Being able to develop code quickly is a huge win that Python delivers. Sometimes that makes Python the right tool, e.g. Youtube. Other times slow execution speed makes it the wrong choice.

other tools also deliver code quickly. that's an evasion of the criticism.
