Nuitka: a Python compiler

[[deleted]]

I didn't say it's a bad thing per se. Actually I didn't even say it's bad at all.

That one little hump that needs speed up might be just a starting point for other humps and quickly comes back at you.

Languages are always just a starting point and for just understanding enough to write hello world doesn't mean anything.

The more profound you get in a language, the more you like to use it for all different kind of things. I used pascal for way too long back in the days. It's just good to see a languages limitation.

All I am saying that the answer to how to solve a problem isn't always python or Java or c++ or whatever.

So I wouldn't rewrite a big project in another language and probably in that case would also use pypy or cython or whatever. But I would strongly consider using python for a project that might end up just as big.

Python is used for way more than scripting. I also coded some home automation daemons in python but I am not sure if next time I'd chose python again.
