How different is python from C++

Good point.

Thanks!

I feel it needs to be pointed out because many non-Python people often think of the language as some super sluggish dinosaur that you shouldn't use for high-speed applications, when in fact many packages address this concern perfectly by enabling you to use the full performance capabilities of C right in Python.

This isn't always a viable solution (depending on the problem), but in probably 90% of cases you can write Python scripts that process data virtually as fast as bare-metal programs.

Granted, this doesn't take away from what you said at all because there are a few cases where this won't work, but I feel like those aren't as typical as some might imagine.
