[Graham Guttocks] > It would be nice to use Python for more serious projects, but it isn't > fast enough currently. It might well depend on projects. We have fairly serious, production-level projects, and Python is quite fast enough for them. And very dependable too, in our experience. A real blessing. Oh, we got a bit of profiling and tuning to do here and there, once in a while. Then, a few thoughtful algorithmic changes give us great rewards. Extensions are also possible. Of course, speed increases in Python are welcome, but we should not let ourselves go frantic about speed. I guess that serious projects are often more interested in good and dependable results, and ease in development and maintenance, than in saving a few minutes or hours on a production run. So, for one at least, I think I like the current orientation, priorities and attitudes of Python developers about speed. They undoubtedly care about it, but intelligently, by protecting dependability and usability. -- François Pinard http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~pinard
