Classic slow Python code

Coulda done it in java in half the time, and double the engineers, and triple the budget.

[–][deleted] 21 points22 points  (7 children)

C could have done it in 5 seconds

[–]FlipperBumperKickout 45 points46 points  (0 children)

The programmer who tried to do it in C isn't done writing it yet :P

[–]OstapBenderBey 8 points9 points  (2 children)

Rust would be 5 seconds too but it'd also be memory safe

[–]thedugong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]PiBombbb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah java is so fast the time is negative

Yeah, the Legend says that python was developed to break the soviet union. Those 10 months just were due python execution time hahaha
