This will be really funny, until you remember 99% of current super hyped AI stuff is running on Python (slrpnk.net)

Python is the tradeoff between ease of development and performance. If you do things the "normal" way (aka no cython) your programs will oftentimes severely underperform when compared with something written in a relatively lower-level language. Even Java outperforms it.

But, you can shit out a program in no time. Or so I've been told. Python is pretty far from the things I'm interested in programming so I haven't touched it much.
