gollark: I think making a less efficient Python program (with intensive mathy things done via numpy etc. which use bindings to C) makes a lot more sense than having a possibly-faster C program which takes several times longer to write, in most cases.
gollark: It's a poor performance decision (although you can just use pypy, which doesn't have that), sure.
gollark: Although all the tooling and CPUs are optimized for the C model, so good luck changing anything ever.

gollark: Yes.
