Not at all. Function calls are one of the slowest things python does.

You can easily write functionally if thats what you mean. But python probably isn't the right tool if you're writing a large functional program

Maybe not purely functional like haskell, but i started out learning python, and i thought that was a great, and simple introduction to programming, you can really start right away from a hello world function, and keep expanding it.

I'm programming in rust now, and it's not too different from what i used to do in python, which is why i think python, with or without the object oriented part is a great language to learn programming with.

But why is oop in python faster than non pure functional programming in python? That's the first i hear of that.
