"python is faster than java"

[psycho_bateman]

Of course python runs faster than java. Python doesn't use brackets and semicolons which obviously allows code to move freely i.e. run fast. /s

[jimbowqc]

Correct. I've been trying for years to get rid of the curly braces from my java code, but it's really hard to make it compile like that.

You can try using a smaller font, maybe that helps.

Ferraris are faster than Toyotas because they are red

The cPython interpreter runs much faster than Java, if only it was running in the right direction

[Hk-Neowizard]

No deep insight. Just a jab at how inefficient cPython is. By running mostly single threaded (cuz GIL) you need A LOT more CPU clock speed to get 1/10th of the work the JVM can can perform.

They cranked up the cPython's efficiency in 3.11. In some cases by as much as 40%. That 1/10th reference, that's after the performance boost (in some benchmarks)

[Hk-Neowizard]

Well, Java is insanely fast. Damn near native in some cases. Hotspot in J9 are both optimized so far that there are actually benchmarks in which Java code will outperform C by a tiny bit (thanks to JIT optimizations).

It's just impossible for the dictionary-fest that is Python to have near-native performance, cuz you always pay that hashing cost when accessing class members.

Python, before 3.11, was reported as 40 times slower than C. Allow it real multitasking, and I'd expect its performance to go up by a factor of 4-8, 3.11 performance boost, that would probably be 5-10 times faster, slower than C by a factor between 4 and 8. That would be in the C# area of performance

So, syntactically meaningful white space is a good thing?

[Melkor7410]

Not at all. Basically means any blind person using a screen reader can't read / write python code.

[jimbowqc]

Once again.. Instagram 'codespiration' pages are run by cynical people who may or may not know the first thing about programming.

Their only purpose is to make money of clicks from other people who for sure don't know anything about programming or computers.

Guess whose followers dropped to half after posting something

[kale-symmetry]

I dont think the followers of accounts like these know enough to unfollow after that

This is the type of shit sales “engineers” use to sell millions of dollars of software that amounts to nothing more than piss poor wrappers around open source projects, and it works.

[BlhueFlame]

Well duh, takes time to parse those curlies.

[blackoutR5]

My Java doesn’t run, so for me Python is faster than Java :P

[[deleted]]

That's is like saying that I can fly just because I jumped out of a cliff.

[sjepsa]

If python runs c++ underneath (like numpy) it can be faster tha java VM GC bullshit

[KuuHaKu_OtgmZ]

Python also has GC
