hear, hear - my thinking exactly - Python is a great language to code in
|
|
and like in all languages algorithms matter when you're looking for speed
|
|
and efficiency. On the other hand if Python can offer better support (in terms
|
|
of speed and efficiency) both newbies and experienced programmers will benefit
|
|
