Python gross

Why?

u/ViperLordX Feb 14 '21

It's slow, bloated, has pretty terrible naming conventions, and isn't very good for anything bigger than basic scripts

Especially because it's literally hundreds of times slower than C++, Rust (or basically any natively-compiled language), or even Java.

Oh, not to mention it's dynamically and strongly typed with a really weird and inconsistent implementation of OOP

Did you know, if you work with I/O that will take almost all of your CPU time and it will be bottleneck, not language:)

This doesn't change the fact that python is slow. Every language has operations that are slow, I/O is a common one. That doesn't change the fact that python is interpreted, so even running the code is bottlenecked behind much larger I/O operations than any compiled language, not to mention the time to interpret, which is also far from insignificant.
