Are you sure? Take a look here:

http://benchmarksgame.alioth.debian.org/u32q/benchmark.php?test=all&lang=python3&lang2=gpp&data=u32q

of course these stats are all so fake, and you may not belive them.

I've been using C/C++ since school it's fast, even bad code is working fast.

I WOULD NEVER BELIVE PYTHON IS AS FAST AS C++ with math algorithms
that do calculate staff and not call functions from pre-complied
objects written in C/C++.

It's crazy that you're even trying to state it. Take a look at what
Python is producing in disasm and then look at it in G++.

See tge subject of this letter. The whole point of this conversation is that
I offered to design it and program it and offered HARDWARE for it but we
can't get to the point because it's not clear for everyone if we need it.

If high command not needing it it will find means to kill it and I'm
very busy, really very busy - can't afford to spend that much time on
something not useful.

We're in the middle of negotiations here.
