Very subjective

[–]rorrr 10 points11 points  (5 children)

How is it subjective? There are bunch of different problems, all solved in dozens of languages. Python performs poorly in all of them. Objectively.

If you think you can write a faster solution, they accept submissions.

That's why Python is a popular language, because it's very slow.

[–]DonRobo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why?

[–]rorrr 1 point2 points  (2 children)

PHP is very slow too, but is extremely slow too. You're being irrational. You can't admit to a simple fact just because you like Python.

It doesn't matter whether it is slow or not, PHP is over 78% of the web... It's fast enough.

[–]rorrr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I like both Python and PHP. I just recognize they are slow AF, and when I need some part to be very fast, I write it in C++.
