You can write C, and pretend its python, but if you&#x27;re writing C, why are you pretending your project is written in python?<p>Text editors are surprisingly demanding; they require complex bulk operations like search, replace and per word highlighting, which is not inconsiderable in magnitude.<p>Ever tried open a 100MB log file in vim?<p>Now try that in atom... and javascript is easily a magnitude or more faster than pure python.<p>I work with python and love it; its hackable, fun to write. ...but fast it is not.
