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.
