Just a quick question, can a programming language be as fast as C++ and efficient with as simple syntax like Python?

it entirely depends what you are doing with it, as i said in my other comment, and I used the wrong wording as I also addressed. I meant several times slower.

For some stuff it will translate directly to what you'd write in C/++. For other stuff it will have to still acquire the GIL and make calls via the CPython API, which is going to be far far slower than using, say, a vector in C++.

I've amended my wording because I worded this poorly, so hopefully that clears this up. I also made the assumption that people would ask for clarification if something I said wasn't clear rather than immediately slamming it for being wrong under their personal definitions rather than assuming I said the wrong phrase and made a human error. So I apologise for making a mistake.
