      It’s python, it’s supposed to be slow.

      Assembly runs the hardware, c kernel runs the assembly, c++ runs the libraries on the kernel, python runs rhe c++, the human runs the python.

      Used to write all my uis in c++, but the turnaround time for python is just incredible, write the business logic there, if it turns out you’re using it to much lower it to c++.
