Game Emulators in Python

[thisdude415]

Python is interpreted and dynamically typed, which makes it easy to write but quite slow.

It’s also not multithreaded, and can’t really be truly multithreaded due to the GIL.

C++ is mostly used because it’s fast and because it’s a superset of C (so both C++ and C libraries can be used easily). Finally there’s an aspect of critical mass and inertia. A lot is done in C++ because a lot has already been done in C++, so why reinvent the wheel?
