If you value runtime efficiency over development time, sure. There are plenty of languages which have made that decision: Pascal, C, Java, Lisp, Forth, and many more. Python aims at acceptable performance (between 10 and 100 times slower than C) and much easier development (between 10 and 100 times faster than C *wink*). If that tradeoff doesn't suit you, perhaps Python is not the language for you. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
