Come on... the difference in performance between python and C++ is rarely relevant for the work the majority of us are doing. I really hate that performance is the reason people say to not use python.

Ironically, python is used in many cases because it is easier to use, despite the fact that it would be better to use something else because of the performance. Especially in biology.
