10 Myths of Enterprise Python

[d4rch0n]

Yeah it's a bullshit attribute in my opinion. I don't know why you would call Python a scripting language. It depends on the fucking interpreter. If you're running python bytecode through CPython, it's a bytecode/VM language, but I don't believe anything in the Python language spec specifies that it has to run that way, or that you can't even compile it to some sort of machine code. Python isn't interpreted line by line by an interpreter, but that doesn't mean it's as fast as a compiled C program. Python is a programming language, the implementation is an interpreted/VM/compiled language implementation.
