Speed is a serious problem in Python though. Python has its use cases, and so do other languages. Things would not end well if we started using Python for everything.

Not since 3.11, python is now one of the fastest languages

Definitely not even close to being one of the fastest languages, but still faster nonetheless.

This might be an unpopular opinion but python’s speed wouldn’t even be an issue if it was 5x slower than it is now.

Python is a language designed for write-time performance, not runtime performance.

If I wanted to write a 3D game engine, I wouldn’t use Python either. But there’s zero chance of me ever doing that. For 90% of things 90% of people do, Python works just fine. And the performance thing is actively being worked on and getting better all the time.

I have worked on a lot of real time simulation with python glue. It is… not fun. I’m a better programmer for it though.
