    “all the compiled languages are worse because you get errors before you can even run them” got a good chuckle out of me!

    No idea, if this is intentional in the video, but I’ve also noticed Python folks harping on about C/C++, and when they say Python is easy to use, they often mean compared to C/C++.

    I’ve always wondered, if this is still circulating in the Python community from 20 years ago, when C/C++ was actually a bar to meet and Python was actually a big step in usability.

      I think there is a focus on C/C++ to justify Pythons performance.

      There have been times when the performance of Node js/Python were part of the reasoning for choosing Java/Scala.

      Each time you are regaled with how Python is C/C++ underneath and so faster. Each time you have to ask if they will write C/C++ libraries to ensure the application performance meets our needs.

      Similarly any time you go near lambas you get a comment on how python lambdas are faster because its C running, where as Java has to start a virtual machine, etc…
