what are these numbers?

why are you so combative?

but like, most of the standard library is written in c. most popular libraries are written in c. they're built that way because python is a flexible way to glue functionality together. that's the point of python: it's easy. if i want performance, i port part of the logic to a compiled language. but most of the time that's not necessary.

just like how with git, we have lfs. we build what we need when we need it. i don't understand your tone here.

pretty sure it's a stoat. ferrets are much larger, and least weasels don't have black tails (at least i think the tail is black).

Edit: actually, it's probably a least weasel. the paws aren't as light as on stoats.

i mean, that's what you're supposed to do. python is a glue language, after all.

not exactly: https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/box-plot-summary-charts.html tl;dr it can be true, but not necessarily. fast python code is on the magnitude of 1/5th the speed of go.

the thing with python is that there is a huge difference between fast and slow code. in go, only really slow code is slow, and in rust even slow code is fast.

go is also not a fast language. it's about halfway between python and c.

but they all solve different problems so that's ok.

it doubled in speed from 3.9 to now, so it's getting there.

i didn't even see the guy in the first picture until i looked at the second and realized what i should be looking for

the argumentations on lagen.nu uses "plagiat" both for "this student copied a paper without citing" and "this chair looks like another design". i'd say that's sufficient to believe they are treated the same.

anyway, this was absolutely not the point of this thread. this started as a hangup on semantics, which i don't care for.

just got the vibe that she's his mom in this one

i thought they were siblings? this comic is playing very fast and loose with its characters...
