That's not strictly true; what's happening here is that someone's published a cool-looking bar graph but nobody knows what it really means. I don't feel the need to delve into everyone's benchmarks to explain why Python is purportedly worse. If someone uses those kinds of numbers to decide which programming language to use, they have bigger problems. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
