Did you know it takes about 17,000 CPU instructions to print(“Hello”) in Python? And that it takes ~2 billion of them to import a module?

    I get that… I’m not a developer, I’m a network engineer but I use a lot of python in my day to day operations. I always took python to be the “code for non-coders” which made it infinitely more approachable than some of the other languages.

    I’m not running the F1 grand prix over here, I’m driving to get groceries, so what if it’s not the fastest thing out there. Close enough is good enough for me. And in my experience that’s what people are using python for, daily driving.
