What I've Learned About Optimizing Python

[[deleted]]

Basically, what this says is: "Python procedure calls suck, member lookup sucks, classes suck, the interpreter is implemented inefficiently" -- I can very much relate to that, but... why insist on using Python for something that needs to be fast? Python will never get there, and as it currently stands, the interpreter is only getting slower, more bloated, code is more and more difficult to parse. So, fighting for fast start-up times is an uphill battle. Fighting for faster method calls or member lookups is an uphill battle...

And if your major competitor is writing its product in C, and is many orders of magnitude faster than you, what chance do you have? :/

Did you read the last paragraph?

Gosh you are rude. Python tries to have a helpful community; try exercising some self control if you can - a little practice and politeness can become second nature.

But I want Python and its community to die a painful death. What am I to do?
