No, Python isn't slow. Bad code is bad. You can write bad code in any language. > > So why do we send Gentoo for food riding on Python? If it were death > we send Gentoo for then I would choose Python but food? I'm finding it very hard to stay polite, because ... honestly? You have no idea what you're talking about. If you want things to change - hire a few of us fulltime to work on things, and you'll get the change you want. Until then there's no need to point out that we are lacking manpower to do large-scale changes, because that's been a constant in most opensource projects since the 1960s. Less talking, more doing - provide patches and stop polluting our mailing list with your madness.
