Yes, totally agree. I’ve written some code and I’d rather convert it to C using cpython before I paralyze it. Python is horrible for both these things, and you may not even get a better speed increase because of the overhead. It’s like use cpython get 10-100x better speed with a few lines of code, or spend my whole day in a horrible mess of data structures and getting my functions to work with map properly with maybe nothing to show for it.
